Dear All
I can't find any mention of this established international Furley Foundation anywhere, except on their own homepage.
Is this a wind-up or, worse, a set up for some kind of scam?
Hope not - with my size 12 plates and my "firm bust" (ie man-boobs) I'm a natural for the job.
Best wishes
Ian
PS Seriously, as librarians we should be able to get to the bottom of this!
