Thank you for clarifying that and so yes, from my observations when I was looking to encourage businesses to take a pitch, the figure was £5,000+.  I know it stopped a number of keen local people from applying.  I know one person asked for a pack well before the advertising, so he could get it early, only to have to beg for a pack at the last minute as they had forgotten to send it!  So wrong!

Anyway, it was a hit for many and I know one company used their family savings thinking it was going to be as good as it said in the pack, and at the PR events, only to end up out of pocket.  Now they have had to endure a rubbish year of weather and are probably cramming as much into this month as possible.  I wonder if they have replenished their children's inheritance. 

In these cases, there is no excuse, it is not hard luck, it is down right bad management and false advertising!  The facts before, during and after bore out the concerns that the hype was far too high.

I think the A-Bs are turning into something of a characterture of themselves. Why couldn't they have had a big, butch Alsation or something instead of something that looks as if it wouldn't look out of place between two slices of bread?
