Whatever happened we'll have a barcode clash - when I get a spare hour I'm going to go 
through everything that will clash, and try and find ways to avoid gaps like what was had 
in 2000 (which were due to barcode clashes - we still have problems with Gus Gus vs T-
World and The Comforts Of Madness sharing the same barcode in some places!)

The problem I can see with that is that one day those *might* clash! Too risky. I have ideas 
that might fix it, but it's just getting the data together and instigating the meeting. 

Fun times...!
