I have spoken to quite a few people who have had dukes, some will have them forever and some never again. I think with a duke you either get it (as in soul/character/feeling) or you don’t .If someone doesn’t you can’t talk them round and if they do then everything else is a compromise.
Having said that I can see why some of the bad repair bills have changed more than a few minds, so until then I’ll take it for all I can (looking for a fingers crossed smiley).
