Re: Part ownership of a Wind Turbine, fancy it?
Why not give Mart a nudge, he's a local so might fit the bill on both counts.
Re: Part ownership of a Wind Turbine, fancy it?
That's the mental image right there. Never seen Mart but visual of this old white haired guy bouncing about in the background with a python T shirt on BBC Wales.

If Mart were ever to appear in a Ripple video you'd know it was him by his cat scarred hands.
