hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes

It's rather amusing to look lower down the page and see the same item offered for well under a tenner! What's more there are a good number of them - not exactly rare. :?

That's more like it! It still said £182 when I had a look. I think they've had second thoughts or it was a misprint!

Much better - maybe the £182 was some kind of typo. 8)

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)
