There now follows an announcement from THE ALPHABET BUSINESS CONCERN

CARDIACS ON TOUR NOVEMBER 2007

The loyal, the faithful, the trustful.
YOU are all of these things.
Once was a time when THE ALPHABET BUSINESS CONCERN was A FIRM HAND, A GUIDE, A FRIEND if you will.
THE ALPHABET BUSINESS CONCERN feel it's flock has grown into
responsible pillars, and is proud of its hard work.
And YOURS.
What of the so-called newcomers, the be-daubed and be-knackered pillars?
The pillars that need attention. Let us leave a FIRM HAND aside, and consider a STERN WARNING instead. DO NOT clothe yourselves in the tawdry fashions of the BACKSEAT DRIVER. MAKE NOT suggestions into the workings of Cardiacs cogs. STEER NOT the ship.
No, YOU were NOT invited aboard, yet were made welcome anyway. In return for YOUR kindness YOU will be given the rewards YOU so desperately crave. As a generous token of our newfound 'agreement', how does this 'grab' YOU?
