If only my techie skills would let me post a bunch of dancing bananas for you both.

We pay for them regardless to what they are doing, if they're here in Britain why not use them, they look at it as a training exercise

Yep, they fly round this way with landies dangling under them regularly. I'd be surprised if they didn't come from Cricklade.

Fantastic to see the breadth and variety of donations and support for this awesome project set out on one page.

I see you've pulled together a list of the Just Giving donations Alex; perhaps it would be a good idea to do something similar for the guys and gals who donated pounds, shillings and pence to the to the bank account Biffer set up last autumn?

Will sort out a list of donations to our bank account in a week or so and also a list of left over parts. There is a list on here from a while ago though.

I can't see the just giving post via my iPhone or iPad as that post is just blank?

Can a mod have a look at that please?
