Here's the scene: I'm in Poundland in Dundee raking through the not very inspiring piles of DVDs (many of them reduced to 50p - that uninteresting) when I noticed that down behind the shelves was a pile of DVDs and CDs that had fallen through the gaps in the shelving and were lying in an unsorted heap on the floor, out of sight of the passing punters. I love unsorted heaps; can't resist them. You never know what you'll find in an unsorted heap. So I was instantly on my knees shoving aside piles of Fly Fishing Expert 23: How to Catch Bigger Perch with Angus McSomeone and pulling out long lost treasures - like lots of other Fly Fishing Expert DVDs and - Voyage of the Rock Aliens. Bingo! When I got to the till the guy behind the counter scanned my DVDs. Voyage of the Rock Aliens made the till make a funny noise. Instead of going 'beep!' as it had done with all the other discs, it went 'BeepityBeepety'... The till man looked at his till.

Till Man:
Oh. This item has been withdrawn.
Me:
Why?
Till Man:
What?
Me:
Why has it been withdrawn?
Till Man:
No idea. Maybe it's been reported
as faulty or something.
Me:
I'll take the risk.
Till Man:
What?
Me:
I'll take the risk. If it doesn't work
I promise not to bring it back.
Till Man:
Ok.
Beep!
