Cheers Tony for the heads up :!:

Like Kaz said the kids don't realise they're going to get ripped off, until it's to late :!:

Think of it as an important lesson the young lad learnt for only $9.50, Tony.

Nothing is free, 'cept STDs... & even they end up costing ya (and for the record, no, I haven't)!
