If you ring Ballard, his sec, Mrs Ballard will answer and run down to the garage in the pouring rain to tell him who's on the phone; the cordless (via mains line) intercom remains operative but unused. The pay-as-you-go cellphone remains firmly off until Ballard wants to make a call, and only then when someone is on hand to tell him how to turn it on, don't bother to call it; "Its for my convenience not anybody else."
Anyway when its known we're at a MV show people just ring me and ask to speak to Ballard, 9 occasions at Overlord 2004. When I asked why call me, they said "Oh, his phone is always off."

I have no idea if you mentioned the French PU. The Ballard Sigs Clerck (Mainland Europe) did send M. Pierre Hochet an e-mail to ask him for the list of parts he needs for his PU but never received a reply. A pity, as I would have loved to continue my French-English/English-French translation services.

I do mean the French "D-Day" PU you and Rory viewed, I have had several emails and faxes to deliver down there and replies to send. Plus some stuff for the Morris register.
