Cos bought his 1400th CD. Derek has a journal that he didn't tell me about until today. :)
I said to Cos (with reference to this) that we could always round up a bunch of friends, and just casually saunter into various record shops one after another over some period of time and suggest that they display the CDs in the racks on their side so we can read the spines easily, "just like in Singapore and in New Zealand!"
So eventually, if enough of us do it, they might change. To his credit, Cos thought it was dishonest. :)
