At eleven o’clock a customer came to the counter with a book that was priced at £1. He and his wife then spent four minutes going through all their pockets and purses to scratch the money together. They were 20p short and asked if they could pay the balance on their credit card.

Shortly afterwards there was a telephone call from a customer who had found a book we’re selling online for £3, postage £2.80 (Amazon’s standard rate): ‘Is that really what the postage is going to cost, because I don’t particularly want to pay more than the actual cost of postage. Can you do the postage for less if I buy it directly from you? £2.80 seems a bit steep for posting a book.’

The telephone charger is now only working intermittently, even when the phone is face down.
