   I don't bother with Woolworths - they only have the Top 20 stuff, and about   
   375,836 clearance titles that they can't get rid of at £2.99.  I wanted the   
   Not Going Out series 1 DVDs as a birthday gift last month and they didn't   
   have it, but they had at least 40 Jean-Claude Van Damne and Steven Seagal   
   movies on the shelves that even Van Damme and Seagal have never heard of.   
      
   But I found the BodySnatcher box in WH Smiths the other day (you get a   
   slightly better class of dimwit in there; a Telegraph-reading kind of dimwit   
   rather than the Heat-reading kind Woolworths specialise in) and - do I   
   really want two remolestificationalised series?  Even though the extra stuff   
   would be nice, not for £40, thank you.  (Maybe it'll be cheaper on line   
   somewhere).
