Local Waterstones bookshop was opening between midnight and 1.00 a.m. tonight for sales of the new Harry Potter book ...

I live in a fairly out of the way part of the UK (as in NOT London), so I didn't expect the hysteria to be quite so bad here.

HA!

I just got a taxi down to the shop (to be with the other 10 year olds) and at 12.30 a.m. the queue was STILL about a mile long.

I didn't even bother to get out of the cab. Hmmm Now I really WON'T be able to come on line or watch the TV or listen to the Radio tomorrow in case I hear the ending of the book before I have collected it.

Taxi company thought I was completely off my trolley lol
