Hi Neil..

I'll have a look in my 'Profile' pub to see if there's anything in there ;)

Hi Neil..

I found THIS which is a bit of a variation on the theme.

Hi Neil :hello:

That's a difficult one mate. Most of these early trainers are shown as being red but I've never been 100% sure it wasn't a more dayglo variation. I think I'd be inclined to go with red ;)
