I'm not being lazy in this hiatus, just idle! I've translated the ID info on 150-odd Russian brands and looked in depth at one of the later combines, which only serves to confuse the former as the "plants" of the later, retained as 'brand-marks', the former's "factory" 'brands'!
I've also got more Polish follow-ups in the pipeline, caught up with the condolence correspondence; apologies to anyone who wore a 'new' Christian name; I C&P'ed the first paragraph as it was all still a bit raw. Thank you all, both private messages and the post commentators.
And - best fun of all; one of TJF's shills tried to get me banned from another site, only problem with his grand plan being . . . he had to admit, in his complaint, to being both the people he was denying being one-half-of, in one of the private 'Mails . . . summing up the general level of innate stupidity which has accompanied all members of the PSTSM and their associates, in their dealings with me since the forked-tongue attacks of December 2016.
In the meantime we've had a press release from Vectis about this week's auctions and advance warning of the stuff latter in the month.
