I have visited the Railfan shop quite a few times and indicated by my behaviour that
I am browsing and don't want to be disturbed. Albert has always noticed and
respected that.. He has raised his voice so that he can be heard to ask if I've seen
this new magazine or whatever but has always been courteous, informative and helpful
whenever I've been in there.

As to the authenticity of the message, can anyone seriously imagine Albert using a
computer, let alone the internet???
