Mike,

I am not sure if you are of aware of myself and the plummers. We are loosely affiliated to the otters, I say affiliated in as much as we have copied a small part of what is good about the magnificent outfit that is forever otter. However I ramble on but such is my appreciation for all that Herbie, Boldty et al did in our conception.

We too were treated to a lesson in the finer arts of football by the otters recently and share your sentiments entirely. Whilst offering neither the success or the exclusivity of the otters we are a friendly bunch and are always on the look out for new players. Actually we are not very exclusive at all and will let anybody in, so please feel free to join us.

Yours

Alex John
President of the Plummers
