Too late ........

Before your posting ..... there has been earlier world-wide announcements and news flashes that a deal has been done for Google to buy YouTube for $1.65 million?

Here, for example is the BBC News site announcement at 22:06 GMT.

The announcement was even earlier in the USA!

PS: Do you really think that Crystal Guides has the financial clout and expertise to buy this kind of company?

no probs dot, just means that for every bottle you were going to take back, you actually have to take 1,000. Drink oop, lass
