3 forum posts	There are a couple of model shops that sell "steam oil" for use with the small mamod/wilesco engines - would that do the job ? Stanbridges in Mount lawley have it listed on their website.

My tax forms use the Dutch post, my pension the Newzeland post, and another comes via DHL, and I only live in France. I have been told that all these foreign postal systems operate in the UK. Perhaps if you used these cheaper services (which seem to deliver as fast at the old P.O.) we could have the freebies just like UK Residents. !!!!!!!!!! Vote freebies for ex pats !!!!!!!!!

On saying that they are part of the EU god help them, I have an old mate in NZ who is helping to restore the TOROA Steamship, and the newsletter takes weeks. I go to Singapore and travel to airport, wait, strip search at customs etc is a day so how come you guyes have to wait weeks and weeks !! Ausie land is only another short flight away. Robert My Tax comes the next day almost everything else at least a week. I am sure that David will resolve this but please remember that he is in the hands of the beancounters. Enjoy your workshop Bob
