Any of us regular JLR visitors could get the 10% discount (Kallu is going to be in Arunachal Pradesh I think.)
Fireflies would make it possible for me to join in if I can. But can we please NOT have the dogs, unless they have been now subscribed to Silk? I do like dogs, but not ALL the time.... Deepa.
