    A spokeswoman for Matalan said the store had been badly damaged.

    Was there a short-circuit in one of the robotic wives?

    Its a good job the near by Argos wasn't burnt down. There would have been a chav day of mourning if Elizabeth Duke and Matalan had gone.

    Evening Steve,

    Three things: Great shots, I bought a pair of shoes at a Matalan, albeit in Sutton, and did you (attempt to) flog any of the pics to the Stechford Daily Blatheron?

    I've sent the pics to the local paper, got a 'Many thanks' reply.
    Don't quite know how these things work with papers so you never know.

    Morning Steve,

    They usually work the exact way you have described -- thanks but no thanks . One
    thing, did you ring them and let them know what you had and if they were interested in seeing
    them? Doing this will sometimes let you know weather they are interested in them or if you should
    keeping contacting other possibilities.

    Cheers and better luck next time .

    Hi Jack,

    I called them told them what i had and they took my number (said their own photographer was there). However they called me back after an hour and asked me to send the pics.

    They weren't used and i'm guessing their own were not used as they went for an aerial shot. Must remember my helicopter next time!

    Morning Steve,

    Well, nothing ventured nothing gained and, at least, now they know who you are and what (good pics) you are capable of, albeit sans helicopter .

    Cheers,
