Even more not-so-subtle PR

Added: 18 September 2009

I was about to post News4Media up here - and then realised that someone got in before me. However, my version is even more insidious since it contains an endorsement by the deputy travel editor of the Times.
Despite these glowing credentials, I don't think I could ever bring myself to respond to anyone who tells me they'll "action immediately".
