Off On One Again

A blog of no interest to anyone apart from me. Highly egotistical. Somewhat ironic that once upon a time people kept diaries secret. Now we publish to the world, even if no-one is listening (or reading). This may include stuff on Greece, history, rugby, cricket, Health and Safety, Wales, genealogy and West Hendred. It will almost certainly include complete rants about things I find amusing, interesting or annoying. There is no guarantee that anyone will share my views!

Location: Didcot, Oxon, United Kingdom

37, forgetful, cynical, sarcastic, would like to have been a struggling artist but ended up with a PhD in chemistry. Got bored with being in the lab, fell into Health and Safety and now can't get out of science without taking a pay cut. Rather enjoying the diversion into Environmental compliance. Unfit and terminally depressed. Lovely wife Sam - just about all that keeps me together. Son Rafferty GFX Hall born 24 Oct 2005 is growing up quickly. Greyhound (Buddy), cats (PJ and Boots), tortoises (Tinkerbell and Compost). Learning Greek at Evening Classes. Play Cricket badly for Didcot CC, haven't played rugby for years and am a little annoyed about that. According to my medical, am clincially obese. Earn far too little. Completed H&S and Environmental Diplomas

Amazon marketplace P&P costs

How come if I buy a single CD on Amazon marketplace, the fixed P&P is £1.20. If I buy a book it is £2.75. Fair enough, the book is heavier. If I buy a single audiobook on CD in the same packaging as a CD, it is charged as a book at £2.75.

Explain the logic behind that one...

Don't get me started. It's insane.

I live abroad, and buy stuff from amazon.fr, amazon.com and amazon.co.uk.

The British Amazon is always more expensive, postage and packing is always more and there are more hoops to jump through.

I don't understand how the European Union and the Free Market economy and all that bollocks still ends up with Brits paying more for books... cars... booze... cigarettes... everything, really.
