years ago. Long way to go for that twinset :>)

I know - ! The worse thing is, I've paid for it, and the bank balance is
looking very in the red! Still, I did get a good deal (I think) - £235 for
new twin 300bar 10L's, with manifold, bands and a gauge, then £260 for 2 x
Jetstreams, just serviced...

Just need to get them wet now!

Nope - that's misleading. There's a big difference between an auction and a
fixed price sale which is what FS denotes...
