Do you think somebody will try to sell it on the WM forums for a handsome profit. :|

Hmm, it was in a sale in Edinburgh. Not that far from Dunfermline...

So that's where Martin Green went. Did I know that already? Maybe I did, actually. I'll just talk away to myself here and hope nobody notices. And if they do I can delete it and deny all knowledge in the morning. Good plan.
