Mark; I reply to your posts 'cause you're good craic, (if unbelievable, most of the time !!), but I re- iterate; if you get through the lamping competition to a point where you are in the North East, there will be a, (king size), bed for you, and kennels for your dogs, and you will be made most welcome, being one of the few to put their money where their mouth, (incredibly big, in your case, ! LOL !) is !!
Cheers.
