# wembdon...
very close by... Mizz had a blanket ban on explosives advertising... just 17 took up the slack though... before michael ryan did his thing you could get some biactol, a vibrating mick hucknall doll, and an AK47 all from the same outlet in nelson... or was it colne...

# Sorry to be pedantic
but isn't the point for all the compo entries to BE shopped?

Not saying it's not funny, it's just not in the spirit of the compo, is it?
