I don't think so Marc, this was an image he posted to me this morning, on his web cam, so i think it's the light in his room.

Wilf,
I might be an even more lucky, lucky man, if he sends me a couple of more !! (snigger, giggle)
(The old friends network works in the end, doesn't it)

PS
Come to think of it, it is Blue, isn't it. That's all we need, 2 patches, and it's hard enough getting one type, ...............

Marc,

I think the colour is (more) correctly described as MAGENTA - a bright pinkish purple.

Selling such items whilst the games are still running is a "Security Risk"... As Alan says in two weeks time these will be disgarded by many! So wait a while and get them for pennies!
