" I have known Alan many years, through my late husband FRED DIBNAH MBE, who had great respect and admiration for the skills, integrity and knowledge of his genuine long time friend. I recently purchased a small trough on Alan's advice and am delighted with finding such a fine example after a long search for the right one. Alan and Christine could not have been more helpful in my quest, and gave expert and friendly advice right from the start. Anyone thinking of buying items from 'Dandelion' can do so with complete confidence and not only will you gain a fine example of whatever it is you are looking for but also a friendship and interesting tales based on a mutual love of antiquities and our industrial past. I would recommend 'Dandelion' to anyone, as would 'Our Fred' "
