24 CARAT PURPLE tribute band singer backs Cancer Charity idea

Hi there

You may or may not be aware that Walkers crisps have 6 new flavours out and are running a competition for one of them to become a full time addition to their range of flavours.

An old friend of my brother (who sadly passed away recently) is one of the 6 finalists with Onion Bhaji flavour and has agreed to donate a percentage of their winnings (IF they win) to a cancer charity.

Every vote counts, so it would be great if you could go to the following link and vote for Onion Bhaji flavour AND also forward the link to everyone you know with a request they do the same.

http://www.walkers.co.uk/flavours/default.aspx?ver=high

If the link doesn't work, just go to http://www.walkers.co.uk and follow the tabs.

Thanking you in anticipation.

I`m gutted, all these tribute bands etc and I have to miss out due to my geographical location, what a downer, maybe one day I could decide to push the boat out and attend one of them along with a member or two from here...wishful thinking! PowerKnight
