PINK PENGUIN’S G.C.S.E. EXAM Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

signyred: After the last log I went to check this out and could find no trace of the cache at all - not even the lid. As I've no other Pink Penguin to replace it and it has lasted for over 12 years I think it's time to put this one to bed.
