The original “ByeBye” as Zzap Editor to take over the LM launch. LM was conceived by RK, Oliver and Franco Frey while on a 5-day “business” holiday at the Lobster Pot at Mousehole, Cornwall to work out what next to launch. While staying there RK cut off the moustache he had worn for more than 7 years.
