I'm not trying to be holier than thou, but feel it's worth being open and straight regarding all this nonsense material currently floating about!

Am also rewriting the Elsecar Stallholder Charter & intend to clamp down as thoroughly as I can, with help & support from everyone.

 Good for you , Mr. B .  If only others would do the same .  Nice to see you're playing it with a straight bat ! 

 Hi, Alan , well done you for that forthright statement, it's so important to have an honest assessment of an item when we all know of the fakers out there especially when you can't see that item in the flesh,  I've been moaning for ages about auctioneers using clever wording to disguise this fact, ( not all auctioneers though of course)
