Well you must have read the "They walk among us" thread?

But not only is it such a stupid idea, and asking so very much, but they haven't even the command of English, or punctuation, to carry it off.

The "I'm only online for 30 mins" bit too. Is tyat them assuming we'll be reading it in real-time with them, at exactly the same time?

Thing is over here I've never heard of anyone using Western Union to wire money either.

So many permutations to get right.

AND, are you Yanks so dumb that the loss of a wallet etc in London would leave you helpless and destitute, with no one to turn to but your email addressees????

Beggars belief!
