NickW has said it all. Fred is one of the very few TOP BLOKES supplying this sort of stuff.

He hasn't logged in to the forum since the 31st. I'd try email or his website as the primary contact method

Might not be a good idea to put you mobile on here as the whole internet can see it ( anyone can see the “General “ part) unless you want lots of calls from Nigeria, of course ;) . Hes a really nice guy with limited time, I am sure he will be back to you soon.

Maybe it's just you Pooface. The remainder of us seem to be capable of communicating with them......

I have watched this thread since you 1st posted and I must agree with Peter , have you considered its your attitude ? I am sure Fred is very busy and dealing with the day to day issues of running a small business and therefore can't give instant answers to everyone NOW . unfortunately your attitude is typical of a certain demographic who require instant attention , I would say instead of berating Fred's communication and response times just order the products elsewhere , I am also sure Fred won't loose any sleep if you do . otherwise just have a little patience and wait for the best products on the market .

You are right, my apologies, I don't mean to be pushy, I know Fred is is one of the best, many people have told me so. My only beef is with modern communications, not Fred!
