The Bookshop on Facebook
Hot, sunny day but had to drive an hour and a half to look at a book collection. Fairly average, made a pretty generous offer to be told 'Hmm, I'm a cautious person. I'll think about it.'
Which means 'I think you're ripping me off so I'll get someone else to look at them before I decide.'
Good luck with that.
Three hours of driving for nothing.
Superb piece of radio by Misha Glenny.
