Last week I saw a piece on the OS about the yellow brick road - the idea was that you could pay £25 to have your name and a brief message engraved on some kind of brick at Bristow's Bench. This seemed ideal for me - an exile - so I emailed Dean Richards to ask about it (I also told him the TUFC should do a USA pre-season tour!)
I got a reply pretty quickly (less than a day, which given the time difference is pretty good) and I was told to keep an eye out for updated info on the OS. (also, no USA tour unless I can find sponsors)
When I looked the next day there was no new article but the original thing I'd looked at had been changed - the price was now £30.
A little while after that I got an email from Natalie (the new lady, even though the name on the email address is still "Paul") saying that I could go into reception to pay or i could send a cheque. I replied - probably a little bit curtly, tbh - saying that I live in the States, which is just why I wanted to do this, so how could I get to reception? Also, it's very doubtful that any cheque I send would be accepted, what with it being all foreign and stuff, so I wanted to know if I could phone with a credit card number.
It's been a week and no reply. Anyway, I don't know how many enquiries they will have had about this but they could probably have put a bit more information on the site. Raising the price was a bit..naughty, but not a big deal, especially.
I'm not going to send a follow up email asking them how I can give them my money - I'm happy to pay them for this and even though I want it I'm not going to chase them for the privilege.
anybody else trying to get one of these?
