    Nope, I lived in Manc for 3 years so I think I acclimatised to the
    frozen wastelands and their inhabitants. By the end of that time I
    could even understand what they were saying, mostly.
    True, people tend to boast in chatrooms to make themselves seem more
    impressive. Tbh that's why I thought he might be willing to divulge if
    he was planning something.

    Thing is, I knew nothing of this guy and for all I knew he was a serial
    bike thief, a dealer or a currency forger. Having spoken to him in a
    forum where he didn't know who I am I have a much better feel for his
    intentions and believe it or not I trust him more now. All based on
    imperfect information but better than nothing.
    If that happens, as seems most likely, I'll be delighted. I had time
    on my hands and took the opportunity to find out as much as possible as
    early as possible, that's all.
    How many of my day to day transactions do you think involve the best
    part of 4 grand of my own money?

    Thanks for the advice, I wasn't actually being me though.

  4. I found it hard to believe there would be any. But google digs up
    a newspaper that mentions the 1% estimate by the Royal Mint in an answer
    to a parliamentary question. Of 1.6e9 coins. Sheez. Not one in eleven,
    but still not unsubstantial.

    Cheers,

    No insurance and you trust him? You're falling for the TOG trick of cash
    being waved under your nose. That couple with the fact you're running an
    auction and it's not good form to pull it just because someone coming around
    with a wedge of cash.

    Be wary.

  6. I've seen an IoS article about it being 1 in 10...

    it's on the website, but you need to pay to access it...

    Abso waffled on in a quite bewildering manner to produce...
    Not by any chance called Lee is he?

    Just wondering, as I happen to spend most of my time in the only place in
    Liverpool you can get bike tyres from, and I know a net fiend / student /
    doorman / gobshite called Lee who likes 'Blades.
