I have never heard of the aaaaghhh game and frankly feel that my life is somewhat the lesser for it, although I have got some very old cheeselets in the cupboard

Thank you for your query regarding the weekly Car Boot Bulletin, we are sorry that we cannot reply to individual questions regarding the information we post, however your messages have moved us here at the CBB HQ. so we are making an exception to reunite you with your favourite toy. (Although we should warn you it's probably not as fantastic as you remember it.) Normally all items are archived in environment controlled safe deposit boxes for security and future reference - but in this case we are prepared to deliver the game to you for the cost of the object (50p) and a small handling fee of 100 euros - excluding VAT. Thank you for your interest in the bulletin, we hope it helps you make your future booter retailing even more efficient.
