    The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.

    £3.99 on Amazon LINKY

    Could've saved money if you were going to buy something else from there on their SuperSaver delivery.
  • yes a few pence (ok 98p) but then I'd have to be able to find a very cheap book to make it up to the £15 to qualify for the super saver delivery & I'm working all week and wouldn't be available to pick up the parcel ...& ordering this close to xmas worries me !!! besides I can wrap them up tonight ...after I've had a quick read ;)

    I normally buy books from amazon ..& often from the marketplace section ...much cheaper than buying books on ebay !!! :j

    Here dead we lie because we did not choose
    To live and shame the land from which we sprung.
    Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose,
    But young men think it is,
    And we were young.
