GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!
Stickers! Stickers have reared their ugly heads yet again!
I hate them hate them hate them hate them HATE THEM. But at least you can peel them off. OR SO I THOUGHT. Obviously, we have previously discussed the horror of over-enthusiastic sticker glues, but there are ways around this. Principally - you read it here first - Windowlene. So I was still on top of it. I had inappropriately-applied chemical cleaning products on my side. I was winning the sticker war.
UNTIL.
Today, a nice little pile of National Short Story Prize collections arrived for display on our tillpoint, with a simple but effective cover design listing the authors involved, and a tacky "As Heard On BBC Radio 4" sticker on the top right corner.
Well. Clearly we are not leaving that on.
Off I go with my expert sticker-removal technique (patent pending). And........
CURSES! CURSE YOU RADIO 4!
It wasn't a sticker. It was a sticker-sized, sticker-shaped, sticker-mimicking irremovable part of the cover design.
I've had this before, with Richard and Judy. (They won't take my calls.) But you'd expect that from those two publicity hounds. The BBC is supposed to be above that sort of thing. The BBC is supposed to be classy. The BBC is supposed to be public service broadcasting, for crying out loud.
This is grounds for withholding of license fee.
