Keith,

Mike is absolutely right - it's in the stores... But it used to be in the position you pointed to in the frame. Mike is just a bit sore (in every sense) after getting his head jammed in there yesterday whilst drilling the 185 holes he's not finished telling us about.

The old bugger had better get himself sorted...
