(...) Do you mean me or Richard Dewsbery? I did a search for "Dewsbery" and it came up with 19 hits, none of which seemed that outspoken.

(...) copies (...) No I don't. And I rather resent you're assumption of the right to distribute your (erroneous) opinions of my views. The reference was in fact to people who knew that the prices were wrong, but were still "trying it on" to a great (...) (25 years ago, 1-Dec-99, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.market.shopping)
