Trade Me message boards: "The talk of the towns"
At the weekend, while you were sipping your coffee and perusing the Sunday papers you may have come across a little one-page piece in the Sunday glossy magazine (tucked into the Sunday Star-Times) on the Trade Me message boards. The article, penned by reporter Adam Dudding, stars "Maisy1", and also mentions "kcak", "suferdog26" and "sxcstar".
If you missed it, you can read it by clicking here. Thanks to Adam and the Sunday Star-Times for sending us through the PDF and giving us permission to post it up here.
