"Bubblyrat - I've just caught up with this thread. I guess your 27 Jan 7.59am nomination for bonkers post was nominating Clive Lever, for Guide Cats for the Blind, and Missing Persians File?"



Examination of the sleeve notes will reveal that those were co- produced by Clive AND myself, which seems not to have been noticed.
