I see the Oxfam charity shop in Clarkston is at it again. They have a facsimile of the 1952 Rupert Annual, without its slipcase, in a cabinet with a £24.99 price tag on it. Just looked at it on ebay and there are several going for as much as a tenner less - with slipcase. Out of the half dozen available on ebay, only one is marked up at £25, yet charity shops claim that they usually price items between the lowest and the highest on ebay - which, let's face it, given the chancers there, is hardly the most 'scientific' way of evaluating the value of anything.
Yeah, I hear you, it's for charity - but charity begins at home.

Incidentally, due to the changes recentlyinstigated by Blogger as to how posts are composed, I no longer have the flexibility in arranging or moving images into exactly the position required to keep them consistent with the layout of previous posts, so the space between the title and first image will now be shorter as of this post. If I was prepared to faff about for half an hour, after much trial and effort, I might be able to get them exactly where I want them, but life's too short. Everything about the new Blogger now makes everything about five times longer and more difficult to do than previously. Why the hell do they do it? Surely their motto should be "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"? Well, they've now broken it!
