OldMod67 27th Mar 2019		Yep, zabadak, you heard correctly;thought you'd get a buzz out of that one! As an aside,ppint, in the late 80s we had Chris Foss for a signing at the bookshop ( I think the store manager knew him..) He had some lovely artwork with him, not the Joy of Sex though (which he also illustrated!) There's a theme here.....
