    Yay! That's the best news I've heard all day. I don't look good in stripes...

    Still, I suppose we good be grateful that we have horizontal and not vertical stripes!

    I wonder if they are following the forum?

    Oh my god! please please please trading, bring out a plain blue one!

    They could have actually avoided this whole calamatous mess in the first place though by actually consulting first
    (and how exactly can they just be 'considering'? Duh, it should be pretty obvious!)

    Perhaps we should stagger the letters otherwise they might get suspicious. Perhaps email trading as well

    Ok, I've written a letter that includes our poll results. Hopefully it will help convince them that no-one's happy with the pink stripes & that a plain blue shirt is in order........
    I just need to post it now!

    Ok, posted. Poll results and all.
    I have no idea if it will make much of a difference, but every little helps.
    It's good to have a name & address to send it to. A paper letter can sometimes be better than an email sent to just 'trading'.
