Not that you'd notice, Bob! I've four further lanterns to pack and send off in the next couple of days - two of Trevor's and two of mine - but the...
I had the same problem with a 930 as well. I had to get a colleague's husband (an accomplished engineer) to sort it - I presume he couldn't...
Just a quick update for those who received one of Trevor's lanterns, bowlfires etc... Firstly, may I thank everyone who has participated in this...

Yeah, right...
