It's also a BBC sitcom set in a suburb of Dundee and starring Brian Cox
Rick that winch sounds pretty interesting, I'd be keen to see it. Tbh I can't really justify spending on it though (too many other things calling for the beer tokens at the moment) but one of my farming mates might |

Cheers Rick what a lovely piece of old machinery!
Nobody I know can make use of it which is a shame Probably more hassle than you can be bothered with but have you thought about putting it on ebay? Must be someone on there that would snap it up. |
