I needed a replacement low voltage fuse (what for isn’t really relevant) so I went to Maplin. Yes, they had them. “Just one pack you want?” the sales assistant asked. Turns out you have to buy a pack of ten. There was no hint of irony in his voice. A lifetime’s supply of 10 amp 60 volt fuses is the minimum you can buy. As if anyone would need more than ten!
Alright, they only cost £1.59 per pack, and they are tiny. But it is still a waste of the earth’s finite resources.
Today I saw a sports shop selling monoculars on Special Offer: “buy one get one free.” You couldn’t make it up.
