He's a tit

He's a book seller. His whole livelihood is threatened by Amazon. I can understand him not being a fan of the Kindle.

Silly man. Think how many trees would be saved if everyone used a Kindle?

A high proportion of my books are second-hand, anyway.

I wonder what his opinion of you would be . . .

I can understand that - doesn't stop me thinking shooting and mounting a kindle is the action is a tit. It doesn't even reach the height of luddism as it's so ineffective

And think of all the limited scarce planetary resources would be saved if nobody used  a Kindle. At least trees replicate - oil reserves and technology-critical metals such as germanium don't.

Getting back to the house: it is gloriously hideous, and seems to be a fusion of the worst of the 1970's (especially the various shades of brown), but for me the highlight is the 'feature wall' in slide 18.

I'd have the hat wearing giraffe though.

My husband has relatives living in Lytham St Annes. We have never visited the place, or are likely to do so.
