Don't leave me hanging....

Have just read (most of) Well of lost plots.... got to page 320... the last line "I'm going to kick your a**e, Tweed" .... and the book ends !! It goes back to the beginning (ie quotes from the press about the book).... Has anyone else come across this ? If so, how did you go about getting a new copy ? I need closure !!

Sounds like you might have gotten a defective copy. You should be able to exchange it for a good one with whoever you bought it from.

oh my goodness!! I'm so sorry that happened to you. That's the first *I've* heard of anything like that. But chances are there's a whole batch that are like that.

Hmmm...how much do you want for that one?? (wink)

Yes, it does that for all of the posts.
The mundane explanation is that (for some unexplained reason) the site is apparently running on [what I think is defined as] Central European Time.
One not-so-mundane suggestion is that the Nextian version of Britain went over onto Central European Time during the Occupation, never changed back, and is somehow influencing this site...
