I saw it here http://scottishancestry.blogspot.com/20 ... alian.html
(It seems this freebie was announced in all the Australian and New Zealand newspapers about a week ago – however I don’t read newspapers unless they’re at least 50 years old.)

Don’t delay or you’ll miss out,

Hi Alan
So you will be watching the pounds exchange rate on SP now that you are up to date with the latest news

September 19 – The United Kingdom government devalues the pound sterling from $4.03 to $2.80, leading to many other currencies being devalued.

Hello Stewie,

To tell you the solemn truth I’m just a slow reader. In fact I’m only up to the day the music died.

All the best,
Alan
