Currys - always higher prices

Gorse Fox wanted a new SD Card*... his friend Mr Amazon had some, but that would mean waiting until Monday for delivery. There is a Currys near by. GF phoned.

"Good morning, Do you have a 1GB SD Card in stock"
Long pause
"Yes, we can deliver it tomorrow" came the response
"I'll come and collect it. Can you confirm the price?"
"£59.95" the voice replied
"Excuse me? Did you say £59.95?", choked the Gorse Fox
"Yes, that's correct. I'll have it ready for you" said the voice optimistically
"You'll have to wait a long time", said the Gorse Fox.
"No problem, Sir; we're here all day"
"Err, yes there is. GF can buy 1GB SD Cards for £8.20"
"So you won't be wanting...", whinged the voice
"No"
Click!
GF types: http://www.amazon.co.uk and life goes on.

*For non-geeks this is a stamp-sized thing that contains digital storage which can be used in cameras, computers, mobile devices etc.
