Re: UKNM: Tell me it's not SPAM

Sounds like toys being thrown out of  the pram for the sake of it by the

30%.  And of course they're media buyers, which is second nature for a

sector that'll engage  in a stoush at the first excuse (should know, was one

for long enough).


Frankly, if a buyer, account and  agency is listed in ALF as a matter of

record, then really, they're fair game for contacting.
