Re: Close gallery and use as a framing showroom?
Too many people take so long thinking about the changes they are going to make that before you know it years have passed and they haven't actually made any progress at all and it's very easy in business to get stuck in the rut of the everyday and not step back and take a good look at your business....

Re: BAMBI HT24-2P COMPRESSOR FOR SALE
Graham, I've already got a JunAir silent compressor and it is quiet, this is ' low noise', would you describe it as silent ?
Also, what have you been using it for ?
Thanks,
Adam

Re: Football Shirt, shorts and socks anyone ?
I think socks is a bit much as well but the customer is dropping off the kit tomorrow, I'll try and make a suggestion. Sadly, this is for the family of a young professional footballer who died recently and they want a couple of frames on display at the service, very sad.
