Expensive Entertainment

Today I received the most expensive video I've ever purchased. Yes, I did say video. £40 plus £2.75 for delivery. It wasn't even for a rare movie type tape, nope this is for 60 minutes of an unknown comedian. £40 for 60 minutes.

Now before you commit me, it wasn't a purchase for myself, it was for a colleague who had exhausted all other avenues. Dan and I tried to purchase the very same video from Virgin the other weekend only to be told it didn't exist. It does. It cost £40.

Not entirely sure why I felt the need to share this little anecdote with you, perhaps sheer dis-belief that someone feels they can charge such a price for a piece of tape but there you go. £40.
