I had cause to go down to the shops today - just a brief outing, but I noticed something rather odd. It was busier than I'd expect on a Tuesday lunchtime, and a lot of the shoppers were male business men of an older persuasion - i.e., not geeks or junior staff coming in for a quick bite of lunch.
What caught my eye was the furtive way they were placing their purchases on the counter for scanning and payment. They all seemed to be buying DVD's, but didn't want it to be too obvious. Well, that's like a red rag to a bull, and closer inspection showed that these were all copies of the new Harry Potter release. I guess they just didn't want anyone thinking it was for them.
What was I down there for? Well, ah, you see, the DVD's a present for my wife...
