I had also noted the name Stephen Fry with a Meard Street address, W1 Tel 734 7752 in connection with the Galactalites. All this info was given to me by The Observer who I had rung about back copies.<br /><br />Jill Yakas, Athens, GreeceAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04318556926248109565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-48137913218842556112008-02-11T19:36:00.000+00:002008-02-11T19:36:00.000+00:00Hey fab - someone else remembers the galactalites!...Hey fab - someone else remembers the galactalites!! Yep, seeing the strip was the one reason to buy the Observer in the early '70's. I've still got copies of the 2 strips shown here, along with a few others I can't lay my hands on just now. <BR/>Any more info, please post...I 'd leave more detail if I knew how being not into this blogging stuff just now.
