Before aStores, I used Mr Rat's Amazon Products Feed for my online book/etc stores. It's a great script, very easy to set up initially yet highly customisable.     But it uses up bandwidth like you wouldn't believe!     So, when Amazon started aStores, I switched to them completely.   The only problem is that aStores restrict you to exactly what you put in the store (either specific products or bestsellers in a specific category); if you want to have a wider store, you have to put in the time…

My sister (in her late twenties) gave me (in my mid-thirties) the Chorlton And The Wheelies DVD box set for Xmas.    "Forty gorgeous episodes", as Queen Doris would say.    Well, 39 episodes and a Christmas Special.    I've watched two of the three series and, I have to say, it's brilliant.   Better than I remember it (how often does that happen?); very silly; surreal, with definite Goons and Monty Python undertones; and almost completely politically incorrect by today's standards.    Brilliant…
