Currently on the boat in France and have ordered one to fly proudly here
If i get time will post the fun events of the last 2 weeks in repairing the boat in france mid winter.
cheers Mike
ps let us know what unit costs end up as more than welcome to make additional payment to cover cost (not for everyone though)

I were t'numpty who didn't sign cheque. Guilt has compelled me to now order two so I can hand one over to Scots exile down here. When the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports next inspects his fleet there will be 2 Blue Moment burgees in attendance to give him a diplomatic nod.

The man from del monte has emailed me to say he is out of town next week so it will be another week - we will see where the dollar is then.
Any surcharges will be purely voluntary - I will let everyone know how much each burgee has cost me when I know. Any and all orders at the existing price will be honoured, but those wishing to send the difference will be well thought of.
We have all been made aware of the situation Nick, so it would be proper for us all to make up any shortfall.
I am prepared to stump up whatever differencees you are due from me.
I would like to think that anyone who has placed an order will agree.

I'll do the sums once the order arrives and let you all know, but no-one is actually going to get a bill or anything, any shortfall making up will be purely voluntary.

Dont you threaten me with volunteering you Webmaster you. I am not volunteering for anything not anytime soon.
Anyway, good news, the Pound jumped against the Dollar today. Or have you bought Dollar Futures for this huge transaction?

Cash will be fine Trou - will it be in Euros? If so make it E18 to cover fluctuations and postage to whatever Mediterranean paradise you are currently in . . .
See PM for address

The order has been placed - looks like it will be $810 including postage from the States, but there will probably be a wee bit of duty to add on to that. Will do the sums and let you know, but the good news is everyone who ordered should have their burgee by Christmas, so you will have something different to decorate the tree with.
