helpful ,albeit difficult to know when back orders would be ready!

Yes, It was good to know you knew what stock you had of the pieces I needed ,but no idea of what you had on back orders for the pieces I needed to make up the numbers I wanted . This might have given me a clearer idea of how long I might have to wait . You have the experience of being able to make an educated guess on whether I might have to wait three months , one year ,two years or three years - I still have NO idea . Am I first on the list of back orders or thirteenth ? The order of what you had in stock came beautifully packed and I’m pleased . Kind regards , Jack Thwaites
