I'm so sorry to hear this. It mirrors what happened to my A.metallica last week. I know exactly how crap it feels. x Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk

Thanks for the report, Phil. I see you were quite restrained . I think I'll place an order once I get back from holiday to make up for losing out this time. Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk
