Some look extremely well, as I am not altogether permanently wedded to a highly polished shiny finish, and I daresay there are other people having the same feeling. Cost also cannot be ignored, because there is no doubt a feeling of trying to avoid unnecessary first cost and running expenses. R. {Sir Henry Royce} | ||
