Lidl lol. What a cheek!!
I will for now delay collecting Romans i think. I seem to have the luck of the emperor's when purchasing them though, bad things happen! It must be an omen of some sort...?
I'll put the refund towards something else to console my sorrows i think...perhaps another short cross ?
It's all a learning curve i guess , if we use eBay as much as we do its to be expected if a few eggs out the dozen end up broken so to speak.
