Didnt want to spoil your thread by replying again to your second posting
re jpeg
It came through fine on news.btopenworld, so as I consider this service
to be typical
of "most", the comment of some is incorrect in saying attachments are a no
go.
Hope you get your hole sorted - I would use P.U. foam, shave off surplus
and
finish with a plaster skim, but this may not be the tradesman's solution.
