Hear hear! I've so far refained from adding my two pennorth about the
quality or otherwise of British manufactured goods. There's good and bad,
just like anywhere else.

Indeed, and what defines a "good" manual? For every complaint I've had
about the quality of ours, I've had a compliment on how good they are....
It's extremely difficult to know how or where to pitch an instruction
manual, since the people reading it can have hugely different levels of
experience and/or ability. A competent and knowledgable user will complain
that it's too detailed, and a newcomer that it's not detailed enough :-)
Lastly, as a newcomer to this list (and I must offer my appreciation of the
vast amount of knowledge and experience of its participants), pardon my
ignorance but what and where is "Ebay"?
Thanks, and best wishes
