Go on, you can spoil it for me, just want to know now, guess price could be anything but the narrative, plus 28%, suggests it is HIGH.
£12k?

George Croydon closed 01Jun-21July for 'refurb', will we notice much difference, and where will all those regulars go..?
I doubt it will change the customer base,but sensibly the refurb is happening in the close season.

Mirror mirror on the wall; who's the Dearest of them all?
The mirror went for £33k, but on reflection, with a 27.6% buyer's fee as pointed out by Graham, that's nearly £42k!

You should take a good look at yourself.
