North London Hospice, Whetstone. A man was complaining that the jacket he’d bought during the week was too large. He wanted a refund, but had to settle for a credit note. It's vulgar to haggle over these things – it's a charity shop! I was delighted to find The Singing Detective on DVD (all 392 minutes of it). Could be the greatest TV drama ever made – or rather, that's how good I recall it being when I saw it on the BBC in the 1980s. The man browsing next to me asked whether the shop had a DVD of The Railway Children. It didn’t. I was also pleased two find two "SF Masterworks" (£1 each): Gateway by Frederik Pohl and Tau Zero by Poul Anderson.
