I note HOBBYCO's inclusion at the END of a long list of contributors.

I found the service levels there to be "not great". Berg's were a wealth of 
information and friendly service. An absolute PIG to get to at the moment 
though!

I also was guided toward what I "think" may be a great solution. As a 
returning hobbyist I am keenly re-learning my scratch building and kit 
bashing skills though was unaware that electric toothbrushes made good 
oscillating sanders for 5mm square pieces of glass paper...... I am off 
tomorrow to buy said toothbrush in the hope of this being true. Anyone 
else's advice/experience regarding this would be much appreciated. I will 
post this segment of the post again separately.

Cheers all and thanks for the advice regarding hobby shops....... I am up 
there again in December and will be going to a few of the others
