Same with books. Any Jilly Cooper, Jaws, Stephen King, Michael Crichton, Tom Clancy, Bridget Jones, Dick Francis, Alistair Mclean, Clive Cussler... A zillion Mills and Boon

I suspect sales of DVDs will continue as there are many good films not available on streaming sites. My other half just bought "Big Night" with Stanley Tucci on DVD as we can't find it anyway streamed.

And fifty copies of Fifty Shades of Grey, a worse written book than any of the above: oh, and talking of badly written books, Jeffrey Archer of course.

Well, part of the foundations of the M6 Toll motorway are old Mills & Boon paperbacks. Is it too late to incorporate some of this stuff into HS2, I wonder? There's hardly a shortage of publishing dross.

Thought it was folk bumped off by the Mafia, not old paperbacks, or am I thinking of somewhere else?

I think that was concerning 'Ginger Marks' a crook who crossed the some of the Kray's entourage's path to his detriment. It was rumoured for years that his body ended up in the concrete that filled a pier supporting the M4 somewhere to the west of London. There were plenty of other rumours though such as his body being buried in the depths of the English Channel beyond Newhaven and even one that his body was rendered down to make postage stamp glue, - and eastenders were advised not to lick stamps!
Even bigger apology for drifting off-topic but though it might be worth mentioning to cheer a few up.
