Last week it took me almost a whole day to make a chocolate box out of cardboard and Copydex (remember Copydex?!-the glue that smells of rancid fish bones…… You would …

Howdy Peeps,
I got an email from Plymouthian slickster Haacht over the weekend, he told me he had lost his entire Sunday on a website for a shop based in Madrid called SUBAQUATICA.
