Andy, do you have a Super-Fi or Richer Sounds in Glasgow? If you're
going into town, might be worth taking a gander in one of those too.
Cheers,
From Ray

Hi Jackie.
Ron did not get back to me so perhaps his phones don't wrap. I'm
going into
Glasgow tomorrow so will check out Maplands. Incidentally, because I
need
to wear a skip bonnet to keep the light from my eyes, I cannot wear
overhead
phones. In any case, I'd look pretty daft eh, as opposed to looking
very
cool, hahaha.
Andy.
