Oh, it's on Facebook then it must be true. Is it in the Daily Mail with a note how many nurses that would pay for?

I ordered Bodega's new LP yesterday... about £28 plus £4.99 P&P. Yes it's not cheap but I'm a vinyl junkie.

Then a few hours later i got a promo email, Bodega's bandcamp shop has a one day sale so i put the Extra Equipment EP in my trolley for £10... £23.99 P&P!

save to say i didn't buy the EP.
