Re: Carpeting Stag

[Stan Barnett <S.A.Barnett@domain.elided>]

  David,
        Thanks for that. Certainly, South East Trimmings are on my
short list and it's good to know you were satisfied with their product.
Their current price for wool is £195. 
        Trouble is it is difficult to compare qualities of the various firms
who sell carpets and prices do vary a lot, so it's useful to get the views
of people like you.
        Sorry to hear you couldn't bring a car onto campus. I assume from
that you must have lived in one of the Colleges because you can bring 
a car in if you live at Parkwood or commute in each day. I have to buy a
permit from the University for the privilege of parking here to work for them.
I think they're hand in glove with John Prescott trying to force us to come
to work by 'bus!
                                                                              Stan Barnett.
