MASONS so that they can keep you informed of EXCITING NEW PRODUCTS AND

Damn... I wondered why I was getting leaflets in German offering me
tax-free baked beans.

Do you think, if I ask them really, really nicely, the gnomes will
allow me to use my Tesco Clubcard vouchers and my Nectar points
towards the cost of a Swiss Pass so I can actually afford to visit
Switzerland this summer?

Or maybe the extraterrestrials can create an extra-special,
personalised version with Clubcard, Nectar, Amex and/or Boots points?
