Guest guest Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Ooh, now then, is that fair? My inlaws buy it every single day and Sundays also. We'd need to organise a boycott and even then, it's a huge seller, would they notice? We need to monitor what people say about us, the only version of this original article (and god knows there have been so many, O'Connell is now back in again!!) is the printed version which personally I don't have! Which makes my response to the PCC follow up letter a bit more complicatd, frankly. Sigh!
