Just to say it again. If anyone needs a stop-off Bridgwater way, we have space, electric hook-up and a spare handy bathroom. It's a long way to Cornwall, so you may need a half way stop.

Oh, and a couple of tips for using them. Fit them at the TOP of the window, that way they default to the locked position instead of falling open. And use a small bulldog clip to secure in the locked position to make them much more secure against thieves using a bit of wire to poke them open.
