Anyway Raj seems this 'independent' chain is now in financial straights and looking for a saviour. I can say the Ipswich store is on a corner albeit an internal corner and in a shopping center ( I say shopping center, what I actually mean is a large enclosed space with a few retail outlets and a Boots for the local workforce to get their body lotions and Sarnies). I wonder if the demise has come about from their failure to change with the times 'Andys Records'. > Don't they have 'Andy's' all over the country, I'm sure there's one in > Preston? - --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

And every time she releases another book the parents start another "Oh, those books are witchcraft! They're bad, they should be banned!" campaign, which only gives her even more publicity! I think parents today are so ridiculous! They let their kids watch Bruce Willis shit on the telly and then they bitch about a little book, or prayer in the schools! Don't get me started!! People baby their kids way too much these days when it comes to certain things and they wonder why they can't survive in the real world. A woman at work was telling me how her daughter didn't wanna go to camp for a lousy five days coz she just didn't wanna be away from Mommy.... and Mommy was also having trouble letting her go to camp coz she would miss her..........well, sure, ya love yer kids, but c'mon! I thought maybe she was 5 years old or something so i asked... she is TEN! Her Mommy says she won't even stay over night at her Grandmother's house ~ 2 blocks away!!!!! THAT kid is gonna have problems! It's the parents these days.........ggrrrrr!

Your computer snogs your modem?! At any rate, yeah, I *did* get a piece of mail from you admiring my deep knowledge of England and admitting that Norwich was a far better place than Ipswich, but I just assumed that you'd undergone a religious conversion or something.
