I am sure when he says "tip" that Benjamin is actually referring to a "Designated Electronic Waste Collection Facility"<br>
but is too busy to type it out. There is a WEEE facility at ME15 6TA or you can call MCC as a "resident" on 08458 247 247 they will tell you where to take your poisons for responsible disposal.<br>
<br>
Perhaps the Sharp belongs in a museum though, has it even got modem?<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>
