All the product categories in the PipSpeak Shop have been inspired by, or derived from, posts in the PipSpeak blog.
Any proceeds made from the PipSpeak Shop will help fund the continuance of PipSpeak - after all, it doesn't write itself, although you might sometimes think so.
So yes, this is a desperate attempt to make writing PipSpeak, well, if not financially profitable, then at least a break-even activity. And, as they say in Euro Itchy & Scratchy Land, my children need wine!
