Hi John

Give my regards to Oxford Street..... I worked in the West End for 6 years 
a long time ago.

I have to admit that I hadn't looked at the V web site but having done so 
presume by its style that it is primarily aimed at children. If the 
pictures alongside the opinions depict the result of imbibing the potion 
.....no thank you  very much, I'll stick with a cup of tea.  As previous 
postings have revealed this Guarana substance is really another form of 
caffeine.

However, regarding the marketing, which appears to be sluggish in the UK it 
will be interesting to see the figures to be released by Frucor in the near 
future.  The pricing confirms my basic thinking that what costs a dollar 
here costs a pound in UK.

Maybe if you can get all your acquaintances to put 3 cans in their top 
drawers that will boost the sales ;>)

Cheers
BG
(disc still no Frucor shares ....but thinking)
