During that fortnight , i think the odd one was used, but on the whole, it was just another pair that dropped on - P4 was the regular and P1 were the typical ones, i think even P2 was used once!

I must say that that was quite some collection of 20s you picked over those two weeks. I’ve been following it with interest!
