Exactly the one I bought for £1500 in 2003 and sold it prior to my relocation. My favourite solo was Jennifer Rush The Power of Love 1985, I used to blast that song, sorry gently convey, from many a bandstand

The one and only saxophone that I bought for my daughter (c. 1990). We walked into a shop in Wallasy and asked "how much is that saxophone in the window?" "Ah said the propriorter, Boosey and Hawkes 400." I said that I wasn't intending to pay that much. He said, "400 is the model number, the price is £1,000.00!"

[Or similar numbers, I don't remember that well]

55 my tenor horn model number was BE 950, Besson instruments. Never worked out why I didn’t sound the same as Sandy Smith. On hindsight he’s forgotten more about music than I’ll ever know

Don't worry Yorky, cheap at half the price. They appreciate with age. My 30 year old Selmer Super Series 80 'sexybone' is still selling for something in excess of 4,000 pounds.

Would that be for all three houses?

We pay about Bht 400.00/13 kg for gas at present. Although one bottle appears to last us 6 months plus.

Only one house but three bedrooms. Don’t have a gas account 55
 
4,500 this month - 1,000 cheaper than last month. The big aircon in the living room packed up just over a month ago and has not been replaced. It's over 13 years old, been moved around a few times and is out of coolant for the second time this year. It's sister, identical twin, packed up 5 years ago and needed replacing back then. It will be replaced with a newer inverter model in due course. SWMBO wants to do without the aircon until next year. Who am I to argue? The igloo is chilled so I do not really care either.

To save heaps on a/c running costs is quite simple. Head pressures are pushed during high use, ie. very hot and humid. To overcome this I charge my compressors with hydrocarbon refrigerant. I use RedTek and load only 40% of original factory fill. All compressor oil is compatible..R22 uses mineral oil...R134a uses polyol oil so no need to change. The C.O.P. ( co-efficiency of performance) almost doubles due to less friction through the system because of less refrigerant.
If you are interested and know a 'fridgie' that can gas up, I can organise RedTek delivered from Bkk.
A/c's run quieter with hc refrigerant.
C.O.P. is around 6 with this refrigerant meaning for example...spend $1 for $6 of energy returned.

Very interesting. Something to consider.
