New Fruit and Veg Shop In Kettering

Amongst a handful of new shops that are getting ready to open in Kettering, Northamptonshire we have a new Fruit and Veg store which is being run/opened by Palmers (as in Palmers the Butchers).

If their Butchers shop is anything to go by then we're in for a treat with their Fruit and Vegetable shop which is adjacent to their current shop in Kettering:

Palmers Butchers

It opens on the 8th of June and along with Fruit and Vegetables it will be selling Milk, Pasta, Frozen Fish/Prawns and Cold Drinks.

Raspberry Pi Latest Update - Pt 6

I think I'm about to feint...  I've just received an email from RS Components Online saying they are ready to take my order for a Raspberry Pi!

There's is a limit of one per customer and to access the store you have to enter your email address along with a unique activation code that can be used just the once.

It goes on to say that they will offer you lots of different accessories to go with the Pi and you should add them to your Pi order to save on postage and packaging - I wonder how much P&P is going to be on what is being advertised as a £22 computer?

I'm still in two minds on whether to buy one or not, it's been so long since they were launched that I'm starting to go off the idea so I'll have to have a think about it over the next few days to see if I should purchase one or not...

Raspberry Pi Latest Update - Pt 5

Ooh look! Another Raspberry Pi update from RS Components.  They start of their email by saying that lots of people have already been invited to purchase their Raspberry Pi - talk about rubbing it in my face?!

I couldn't give a monkeys about all those people who have been able to order one, I just want to know when I will be able to order mine.

To rub more salt in to the wound they list a couple of websites where you can see what people who have managed to get their hands one have done with them.  Needless to say I'm not touching these links.

The simple fact of the matter is, they should not have launched the product until they were in the situation where they could actually sell more than just a handful.

To be completely honest I'm starting to lose interest and I think I may be at the stage where I no longer want one.

Not impressed, not impressed at all.
