My new favourite Facebook thing is people who’ve recently been bereaved taking out of focus photos of their dead parents Beatles records and posting them to a group called BEATLES MARKETPLACE and asking “Hi everyone, can someone give me a price in £ on how much this is worth please”

Fresh out in the world of #JustOverheard: in Waitrose just now I saw a small boy reach eagerly for a mini-Sellotape dispenser, followed by the words from his mum “No Tom, no Sellotape today”.

Just going to assume the next Kraftwerk album is called Dynamische Preisgestaltung, or something.
