    Slightly changing subject, I'm thinking of changing potato harvester for next season. Currently running a Reekie. Choice between GT with Multi-sep or T" with omega separation. Thoughts please.

    £330 here yesterday. Sagitta are frying slightly dark, seems to be a general problem. Merchant yesterday said bloody chip shops always want something they haven't got.
