Don't worry about the postage it wasn't much and I am a great believer in Karma - do good things and good things happen or put another way what goes around comes around :D

Post by: goodegg on May 07, 2010, 19:20: hello nails the fourth one i think is a green egg but i am colourblind its got 3/5 on the side and just a 3 on the top unless it got washed off when i was cleaning it they were ful of yolk when i saw the box i didnt think there would be any good ones so i am pleased some did survive i had some like that once before it was a box of 18 and only six were good of the internet they cost a small fortune as well but i didnt get any more of them even replacements.

i could kick myself i really could, the poly arrived the same day they were posted!!!! they came after we posted the eggs. Lesson learnt!
