Being based in East London, I been getting the ship-it stuff - 20 CDs at
a time for distribution to NGOs etc. This will be a pain to get
'branded' stuff via local mail from the loco.

Pity that they seem to have stopped the service.

Guess I will have to get someone in CT to send to me at least 10 at a time.
