Article: [senco-forum] A good way to waste time!

Sounds similar to the excellent 'I Spy' series from
Scholastic. The computer games are totally different from
the dreadful TV series.

The pictures are beautiful and there are also lots of double
or triple meanings (club). Watch out for the odd Americanism
though, but this does teach knowledge about language.

They were selling them in TK Maxx not so long ago for
£2.99 each.
