well, the pichi richi volunteers have the money neccesary for repairs to the coffee pot now but the beurocrats in their all knowing wisdom have decided that the steam tubes (that lasted one hundred years no less) are not great enough in diameter, in a nutshell, and dont quote me on the sizes as I got it from a volenteer, the old ones were say 3/8" but the experts say they need to be 1 1/2" so the whole boiler must be redesigned at a huge cost, so back to my wallett my hand went again, still didnt get me on the drivers platform, but the dragon took my visa card away, no sense of civic responsibility these women, anyway I dropped some photos of a steamer just to keep you going Basil
