Wowee! Congrats on that find!
If that were me, in these parts, I woulda quietly walked as fast as I could without attracting attention to the cashier, paid for it, then sneaked it out to my car and covered it with the blanket I keep in there at all times for just such occasions. Then I would have gone back in the store and finished shopping. This is because this area is crawling with dealers and I wouldn't want any of them to know what they'd just missed, because then they'd be there three times as often as usual. They are rabid.

fortunate means having good luck in areas much broader terms
spanky,
You are correct. I feel fortunate that I do not have to be sneaky (achieved success in business only by underhand methods) in my dealings, not be able to share my success with others, and describe people in non flattering terms (rabid - irrationally extreme in opinion or practice). Are these the broader terms you suggested?

kodawood?
nice modular seating. does anyone know anything about the kodawood company? i picked up a chair about a year ago and there doesn't seem to be too much in the way of information about that company.

Robert,
I was wondering if you had been to the Robin & Lucienne Day exhibition, currently on in Ealing?

Not yet!
but I was aware of it.

I might try this weekend, if it's open.
I'll let you know what i think...
