    Greenzap is headquartered in La Jolla, California, but according to Sonkin, the company accepts mail at "Ralph's Grocery Store" while they are in the process of moving into a new building located east of La Jolla.

    Any relation Tojo :D

    I don't know how the rival to EBay would have turned out, but Terry's rival to The British Tourist Authority reads like an episode of Little Britain!! :p

    http://www.uk-tourist-info.com

    "British people are generally very relaxed and believe in working very hard. They work good for 5 days and mostly spend all their earnings over the weekend"

    "If you are travelling to UK by car and are planning to drive in an illegal immigrant by putting him/her in the boot, don't do it"

    "British women are independent but, although they mix freely with men, this does not imply a willingness to enter into sexual relationships"

    "The M25 is a motorway that runs around the complete circumference of London and makes time consuming journeys short by allowing you to travel at faster speeds"

    "The Natural History Museum in London is one of the few rare places where the outside is more interesting that what's inside"

    "The Welsh people, unlike the English are not much interested in playing cricket"

    "The Welsh people are much more tolerant, polite and have a great sense of humour compared to the English"

    "If you do not like the sun, England is your place"


    As my aging Uncle from Herefordshire would say ..... "I larfed I did" :D

    Hey Tojo,

    After doing my research, found out that ebay is far too big to beat. So just decided to add another one to my affiliate collection. Will be coming up with others for france, switerland, benelux, etc.

    Cheers
    Terry

    As money making/saving decisions go, I'd suggest that was a very good one.

    Good luck. :)
