I'm too old to understand computers and my son did my Ebay shop for me." Followed swiftly with a second email that said : "My son informs me that he is unable to amend the current listing but it will end in a fortnight and he promises not to do this again" P.S. I love "dodgepot" ... I will be copying this and passing it off as my own ... heee heee hee!
