Hi David and welcome to the forum.

Don't lose that grill you've got in the pic second from right down two pics, I like it 8) , no hang on...... third down second from right pic, nup, wait a minute, right about three pics and go down about four pics.......forget that,start at bottom and go left about 30 cm and then go up about 43 cm.....start again.....there's a pic in there somewhere that has grill in it and I like it :lol: :lol: :lol: .

Good progress happening there!! 8) 8) 8)
I can't think what to write here so this will do.
