Hi BigMikeLV and All,

It has been brought to my attention by PM that I might have offended you. That was the furthest thing from my mind and if I have, I apologize unreservedly.

Heraldry has been my life and my passion for about 40 years, so I like to think that I know something about it. What I do know is that Bucket Shops have been duping the public for over 100 years. We all have to trust. When we have toothache, we trust that your dentist is going to treat the right tooth and not just 'pull them all, to be on the safe side'.

We go to a Bucket Shop in the belief that they are professional people, but as gilmore has shown they often can't even do the basic homework to make a convincing lie. It saddens me that they get away with it, year in year out. A work colleague of mine paid hundreds of £s for items with, what he thought were his family coat of arms (Bedford). What he got was a lot of goods with the arms of the town of Bedford. This type of fraud is being perpetuated every day - and they get away with it.

I am truly sorry if my passion for this subject has overridden my normally better judgement.

Regards

Chas
