Hmmm.... And there's always the reverse argument too....you start with a small one...then get one that's only slightly larger...then another one that's slightly larger still.....and if you do this whilst your neighbours are away on holiday...they don't even notice! And when they start talking to you about how dark and gloomy the skies have become you just raise your eyes heavenwards and blag on about Global Dimming :spite: They don't have a leg to stand on because they never raised any objections before....sweet innocent little moi... ops:

Never mind. Forget it.

'Patience is a virtue' springs to mind, though I don't remember ever taking any of my own advice in that regard... :roflmao:

I suppose it depends on how tight your budget really is. If you truly can't afford to spend any extra, then a wait will surely turn up a bargain.

Yup, yup, you're right. Watching freecyle...eyeing up driveways and skips...might start to save pennies and get the technomate first...

Keep an eye out in the loot online too (http://www.loot.com/) - there's a free 1.2m dish in there, but it's in Manchester
