Did some reading up on the Cornucopia website.
The person who emailed me this rather blunt answer is a chap called Trevor Brown.
What Cornucopia -I guess Peter Long himself- is writing about him on his website:
" ( we call him "the REVEREND TREVOR" as he thinks he is close to God ! ) In his working days ( Now retired 2008 ) he had some 500 staff to boss around. ( Strange ! some of us get the impression we are still part of the 500 ) "
Looks like they took on the right person for the right job! e.g. closing down:laughing:
I purchased some (new!!!) used parts from him a while back. Refused to post to the uk or accept payment from the uk. I had to send funds to a friend in Germany and use his address. What a pain.
