Norman,
I am still waiting for a reply from my possible scumbler but, in the meantime, I have been talking to a mutual friend who is in regular contact with John Gillard.
He tells me the last year has been a nightmare for John but he is now settling into his new (Kent) premises and getting sorted out to the point of being able to locate stock. If you try again via James Geddes as suggested above, you may now have more success in getting a positive result re. your frames. John is obviously still under a lot of pressure so the sooner you stake your claim the better.
