Many thanks for that, Tim.  Fortunately your information a fortnight
or so ago to me was timely indeed therefore, as I got my expensive
items out of them and have only lost out a couple of tubes of glue.
Makes me even more appreciative of you putting in the effort for me.
Thanks for that again.

You, I guess form your comments, must have lost out on your studs
which I'm sure is much more inconvenient.
