Re: AoG ships in UK (was: RE: Anyone use FB ships?)

OK, time for a poor yank to ask the immortal questions -

     What the hell is a quid?
      where does the name come from?
     and why that instead of something else?

(One response only please -  I don't want to cause the list to flood)

Oh, yes there are! Hobbygames are bringing them in, whether "legally" or
through a US distributor as grey imports I don't know, but they are
certainly available to shops if they want them - a couple of the regular
traders at the UK shows carry them, as do quite a few shops (Orky has
some,
so do Caliver Books, and even my local comics shop has a few in!). Ones
like the T'loth and Hyperion are around 
£9.95, but the Bin'Tak is sixteen
quid.....
