If you have Barnard stuck away somewhere, and are willing to sell it, and yo=

please e-mail me off line and I will put you in touch with him. =C2=A0If any=

that on to him as well.

Can sell him mine. I bought about two hundred pounds two years ago

Not hard to make a sub for Barnard - let me know if they want to try that.
