No no no no. How can anybody quote such a stupid price. I would go in and
tell them what idiots they are and that by virtue of the authority of the
'list' - lots of MG people will know of their gouging. And then send out
tons of email relating to them - magazines etc. In my old age I have got
really into telling people off if they rip off or try to hoodwink - much to
the embarrassment of my approaching-teenage grandson!! Similarly when
people do good - thus my email about Apple giving me good service!! Such
actions negate the effects of our modern society's advertising machinery.
