St. David's Apologies

Hi Folks,

I think we missed this one. There's nothing sinister, just sometimes we havent got every one in the list. My apologies to all Welsh MoneySavers - having lived in Cardiff for a year; I know how important it is.

Martin

(Though I did go to school in chester where a local bylaw I believe still permits englishmen to lop the head of welshman caught within the city walls after midnight. Thankfully it's over-ridden by modern statute!)

    It was very clever the way the thread I started asking why there was no change to Martin's picture for St David's day was removed at about the same time as this apology thread was started.

    I noticed the apology thread (i can see deleted threads) which is why i knew we'd missed it. I am not sure why the thread was deleted; i have asked the abuse team and will find out monday.

    As I say again, this was an oversight, nothign more; and its an apology; things that only last a day and fall at weekends always make it a bit more difficult. Yet we should've done it - i can't say anything more than Im sorry.
