[Tech1] Up for sale!

[Keith Wicks]

Did an over-eager English teacher have a go at editing the programme
details? I ask because although a comma is grammatically correct in "I'm
alright, Jack" it is more usual to use the original form in such a case,
and this has no comma. Also "Alright" should have been changed to All Right
for the same reason (although it is a matter of opinion whether or not
"Alright" is a normally acceptable alternative to All Right).
