I've spoken to my mate, who used to work for StayBrite. He says there's a huge window-making company in Edinburgh that the likes of Staybrite buy their windows from. He'll try and track down the name tonight. He also reckons that, if there are no complex openings required etc, that you "could" get it done for £2K-ish. His advice is find a reputable window-fitter, not a big national company - you get the same windows, a non sales-driven company, and half the price. More to follow when I get more info.

[Phil] I'll bet you 5p and a melon that it's Penicuik.

[pen] I don't accept bets that I might not win ...i.e. I think you're right.

Anyone seen Inkspot lately? He and I (as sigmundfreud) seem to be the only two left on Celebdaq. I'm really hanging on so he doesn't feel in solitary splendour. I suspect he's doing the same...
Alternatively, some of you deserters might re-join.

Celebdaq? Oh, puh-lease, that's so 2003. :)

[Phil] Thanks. Any ideas as to how one knows a fitter is reputable?

Isn't it marked on their bottoms?

[rab] Ask to see jobs they've done in the area, would be my best guess, other than local recommendation.

How's the weather?

>> Celebdaq? Oh, puh-lease, that's so 2003. :) Absolutely. For the last 3 years, I just buy Madonna - she's easy, cheap and she gets column inches.

...just realised there's been one sitting blank for a while. Any innovative ideas?

Every now again like today Mornington_Crescent appears on the front page, sadly I run more than one account. Still not made Top Trader.
