Well after years of trying I finally made it to one of Neil's auctions.
I could only make half of it due to family commitments, and the few things I was thinking of bidding on in the first half went higher than I was prepared to pay.
I had arranged to meet Granty there and I didn't see him for quite a while, then finally I spotted him when the room started clearing out, but I didn't want to disturb him as he was right up the front. When he finally looked around the room I caught his eye and I raised my hand, and found that I had made a bid on a trotting reel! It was a nice one so I made a few more bids before bowing out. Luckily for me the VH which went for £8k wasn't going at that time!!
