Still quite few of the old names calling it a day, spike to fellow Steelboy Steve E, he tells me Martins from Corsham have closed this week, they have a little Albion and an 88 in the toy cupboard, and was also told Noel Zweckers, from Armagh have also packed up due to costs…with fuel the way it is, and rate still stuck in the 90s, is it any wonder!
