Is this stuff still available?

[Dave Hughes]

I've sent Robin an email telling him someone's interested.

[Jezmond]

Thanks Dave, you're a star...

[Jezmond]

Sadly I have found out Robin passed away in January Dave.

[Dave Hughes]

Sorry to hear that Jezmond. I'm sure last time we spoke (by email) he said he was in his 90s.
