Oxfam!
I know where my nearest shop is, but I can't drop off this tantalising crate of Shiny Things there because there's nowhere to park. And I know where my nearest donation point is too, but I can't drop off this tantalising crate of Shiny Things there either, because the wossnames into which the Shiny Things are usually posted are conspicuous only by their absence. I know this because I went there this evening just gone.
Never mind, I shall look on that The Internet that they have now for another nearby book-accepting donation point.
Ah! Your webby SCIENCE is, not to put too fine a point on it, piss-awful. If I ask it to find me Book Donation Points near $MY_POSTCODE, I do not want a list of $EVERYTHING as far away as Leigh on fucking Sea. That's forty miles away. Or eighty, counting the journey back.
And the thing is so slow that I think your server must be full of jam. And wasps. Dead wasps. Either that or you're on the receiving end of a DOS attack, as I really don't think that every insomniac in the EU is looking for their nearest donation point simultaneously.
I would really like to give you this tantalising crate of surplus-to-requirements Shiny Things but on the whole it may just be easier to bung it at the Salvation Army instead...
