You're on a roll - are you planning on collecting them into an Annual for Christmas? And who exactly buys those "Broons" and "Oor Wullie" annuals that are always on sale on Smiths?
ta PM... be more a pamphlet than an annual, although if I keep churnin em out, it COULD be a double-sided pamphlet!
Sad to say, until fairly recently it was me who bought em!! And i dont even know why, coz i dont like them very much! Think it was something to do with me being a BritCom traditionalist, and wanting them to keep going...
