Guest guest Posted December 21, 2000 Report Share Posted December 21, 2000 Our Price record shops had these in a few weeks ago. Worth a try, Sue and anyone who is looking. My DH will have one in his stocking cos they are his favourite ever tv programme characters. Lesley - hoping for Robbie in her stocking, well a girl can dream!
