    Good man, I actually e-mailed them telling them that we had loads of UK based designers crying out for work and maybe pointing start-ups to the Tenders & Services section of our Forum would be a good idea, instead of Welcome | DBA - design business association which is a database of large design agencies who probably charge a fortune!!

    The jist of the e-mail back was they weren't going to...

    Still waiting for them to get back to me. I wonder how many other people they've asked? Maybe they'll want us all to take pictures then they'll use the best?
