There are less sheds that I see now and the ones that are about seem to look nice and cared for.

Our RST count has just gone up by one as my bro's friend has just picked up what seems to be a rather nice Moonstone Blue S2

Haven't seen a tin pot in well over 6 months. You're right tho, they usually are pretty clean when they do appear.
