HW: Promo Single (on E-Bay)

[Cyberkrel]

Sorry to sort of disagree, but Children In Need features countrywide
auctions of things that were originally free - celebrities nic-nax - and
noone criticises that!!
I think the Hawkcamp have every right to moan simply coz of the timing  - if
this had happened in six months time, I guarantee, not one person here would
have batted an eyelid!!
Which of course goes back to the previous argument -but......
ENUFFFF!!!!!!
You must be bored silly by now and this is definitely my last word on the
subject.
Besides, I have a very special Psytrax issue 2 to prepare!!!
Toodles,
Andy G.
