Hi guys,
Thanks for answering the question about the T-shirts Phil, though I forgot to mention that when I first checked the price, the T-shirts were priced at $0.00 – that’s why I thought they were a bit cheap!
I see they’re back to $20 now but I’ll still get one, interested in seeing new designs too – how about a competition where listeners submit ideas?
Leo, have a cup of tea on me – the extra $2 is for the sugar and milk!
