But, I don't want to go out and buy one just for one bag load of coffee beans - especially as someone in the office put me right off by asking if they had been poo'd out once already!

Incidentally I haven't actually asked how he came by them, I dont think I want to know.

Does he work in a zoo?? Perhaps Elaine might explain the allusion here.....Tongue

lol no he doesnt work in a zoo - i was just worried in case it was that civet coffee, the one where the civets eat the coffee, poo it out and then its collected and sold as high end very expensive coffee.

Then again, if it is that coffee - I could sell it on ebay Big Grin

You'd make a small fortune if it was. They say it's pretty cr*p though. Big Grin

George, To be fair, I think Amazon recognises you pain... and is trying to help you though it Smile
It's amazing the information they are collecting and the ways in which they are using it, Ken. I use their dispute service to resolve a problem with a seller, and they use the information obtained to try and sell me something. I'm going to have to buy some Amazon shares!
