Hi P.D's. Any interested parties should take quick action.
Here downunder, we have a A$30M lotto draw on 2 Jan, and I am just waiting for confirmation that my coupon was right on the numbers.

Ps. Decoy was solar panels for pre-heating the feedwater, they could be sold off as of no benefit if a UK buyer gets in ahead of me.
