I found an image of the reverse side of that card but the addy was massive. It wrecked the size of the fields on here so am sending by pm.

I think Dave said on the other thread that he has a copy of the cig card but wants to trace the birthday card, In case people haven't read it.

Oh Roy, leave it be, Dave apologised for that. It is not hurting.
