Mine is only a small study, so I went to D and filtered down to Doogood. To my surprise it was there, and yielded three hits. Two were in the USA, and one in Kilmarnock. This is three more than such a search usually finds! The Kilmarnock address turned up J L McGarrity, Butchers. So much for that. The site offered me the opportunity to e-mail the two USA hits, and I accordingly did so. I received e-mails from the site to say that then had been sent, and almost within seconds further e-mails reporting non-delivery of both - dead addresses. So much for that. I am left wondering, in the light of other peoples' experiences, whether it’s worth the bother attempting a letter… None of the extant Australian Doogoods appeared. Ah, well :-( A Merry Christmas to you all. John.
