Hi Euan,
Gareth only got out of hospital today after having had to go in for an operation on his knee following a bad motorcycle accident.
He is aware of the issue and will be rectifying it ASAP now that he is out of hospital (the reason you haven't been able to contact him

). He's definitely not trying to stitch you up and has been waiting for this operation for several months, and they gave him very short notice to go in, hence why he was unable to sort before hand

.
Hope this clarifies
