Hey AB Ed

hmmm perhaps the reason is that you have only published two "WEEKLY" Newsletters since November 2006!

What I don�t understand is why this is a �recent� thing. Surely people must have realised some time ago that these were all a scam, as if anyone voting for something like X-Factor or Big Brother really has a say in who stays or goes! Or finding out that you haven�t been selected for studio put through costs you x amount per time?

Hasn�t it been an obvious con for a while now?

And no, Jim never Fixed it for me either, the swizzler.

Hey Boo Boo,

As you're all aware I took over from the previous Editor although there was a slight gap in between her departure and my arrival plus we were working on a new design. There will be a weekly newsletter from now on

Hope that clears thing up

It doesn't clear up the Jim'll Fix It scam. Those hundreds of letters I sent cost me (well my parents) a fortune in 2nd class stamps. And what did I get? Nuffink.

has to be asked octavius, what did jim NOT fix for you ? because never say never, someone on A B may be of assistance,

[Octavius]

I wanted Jim to fix it for me to be an astronaut.

Honestly, was that too much to ask?

[redcrx]

obviously the BBCs budget didnt stretch that far Octavius. I bet now that they are getting all this money from premium phone lines they can afford it. I suggest you write and ask them again

[crete]

i say A B has a petition to send octavious to the moon ? may i be the first to sign, : )

[dot.hawkes]

lol @ Octavius, but the new second class stamps were only about 3d then lol!

I did notice a presenter saying calls will only cost........ 10 pence....... This Morning tv programme possibly lol....

These companies ( TV execs ) and their shows knew full well they were 'on the make'

I loved the *max 150 calls* tab that flashed up.... clue? it's going to take 150 calls to maybe get through.... at a cost.... should anyone have any common sense of �112.50......

and they caried on calling......

who theyare? imo? are people susceptible to suggestion.... ergo.... easy money.

I was amazed at the number of people that were surprised to find that TV phone-ins are a scam and a rip-off.
