Right.... When on earth will you ever use the 23???
I use it almost every day (Instead of the 82A for obvious reasons), however, I wouldn't be using it if I had to sit on a bit of moulded plastic with a flipping tea towel covering it!!!!!

Well to be fair, I probably would.
Purely because the chances of it turning up before the 82A are 100%

I think they do because they weren't refurbished upon transfer from London, Unlike the first batch that went to ANE ( Also T-Reg )
