Hi Ian

I was getting quotes for various places in the world prior to deciding exactly what to do with them - eg brocante here in France, placing them in a depot vente or ebay.  Shipping when I was in the UK was never a problem as there is soooo many companies that compete for business but here in France poses a slight problem and I used to ship quite often to the states as that was where most of my customers were hence getting quotes for there.  I hate surprises and wouldn't want to sell them and then lose money because I have under quoted.

PS I like my rack too  :24:  :24:  :24:

I am so proud how one of these insulators has cleaned up so I thought I would share it with you all.  The concrete that held the bracket in place had crumbled on this one so we decided this one would be experiment.

Very nice-- and I like the wire.  Look how carefully it's tied on-- someone was doing a careful job on top of that pole.  Don't you take that wire off!  Lucky the cement was all crumbled....

Here's some nice American ones (can you see why people collect these?)



...and how about this?



...they come in all colors but ruby red...



...the ever-popular blues...

Thanks for those Ian, being a girlie girl I def prefer the lilac one, mine looks boring in comparison.  The OH said to take the wire off I nearly bit his head off and said no!
