    Nice to see....

    ...that so many comments all say the same thing. But just in case, here is an open letter....

    Dear Vodaphone,

    Whilst you seem to have the money to spend as sponsors to many sports you seem to of forgotten to pay your tax.

    We, the people of the UK would very much like it if you did.

    Please send your cheque to HMRC

    Yours faithfully

    The UK public

      Dear ukgnome,

      we were unable to process your letter as it, firstly, is not addressed to us and secondly, we are yet to translate what you meant around "of".

      Rgds,

      Vodafone.
