Sorry
was thinking about WH Smith's selling a £6.99 book for .99p when £1.62 of the self-same book is being donated to charity, and briefly lost the will to live.

It should be made illegal to retail newly issued goods beneath cost price : barkin mad it is, do you hear me, barkin mad.

In Australia, bastard Borders has just recently jacked up the price of EVERY book not on their 3-for-2 tables by 10% OVER recommended retail price. I hope this contributes to them crumbling and collapsing. One employee described this decision to me as necessary "to cover the cost of browsing".

I only ordered three copies of that book and was amazed that they sold over the weekend as I thought everyone would go to WHS.

I didn't even know about the WHS things. Luckily we don't have a WHS nearby. I always thought WHS were above 'doing an Asda'. Shame on them.
