Beware the Idles' March The Weekly: Maintaining Britain's Standards
Corner Shop
Welcome to the The Weekly Corner Shop corner shop. Here you may indulge your shameful consumerist needs, provided these needs are quite narrowly defined as an irrational urge for T-shaped shirts and improving books. Make your way around the shelves provided and try not to knock over the butter.

Postage & Packing
Thanks, postie!
We send items by first-class post within Britain and by airmail to the rest of the world. (See the payment FAQ for which countries we're permitted to recognise.)

Please allow 14 days for delivery. Our crack team of moderately trained urchins endeavour in their fleetness, and MR MILLINGTON bicycles like the devil to reach the post-box, the whole of a view to despatch your order within 48 hours, but there may be unforeseen delays. (For example, while reordering stock.) We'll e-mail you with any such news, but as a rule of thumb if you haven't received your items in 5 days (10 for "rest of world" deliveries), contact us with your order number.

Discount Code
If you have a discount code for the Corner Shop, type it here to receive a discount on any T-shaped shirts in your order. (MR MILLINGTON's improving books are regrettably exempt from the discount as he is repaying criminals.)

Digiworld special friends should give their username as the code. (Note: if you registered but didn't pay to be a special friend, your username will not work, you eel.) We do check for international socialists trying it on by sharing or pickpocketing codes, so take some MANLY EXERCISE if you are tempted.

Type your discount code into the attractive rectangle.

Instructions For Living Someone Else's Life - the book
  Instructions For Living Someone Else's Life  
MR MILLINGTON's fourth comedy-novel is currently not available from the Corner Shop as he attempts single-handedly to save bookshops by chasing people into them with an axe. If you are unable to attend a bookshop in order to purchase the book, perhaps because of axe wounds, he has arranged for stocks to appear at Amazon and Play provided you have a doctor's note.

MR MILLINGTON will next be chasing people into bookshops with an axe in Troublehouse Halt.

Love and Other Near-Death Experiences - the book
  Love and Other Near-Death Experiences
Love and Other Near-Death Experiences (US Edition)
US Edition
 
MR MILLINGTON's third comedy-novel appears to bear out the theory that he's found his natural level of writing-length, ie about a mile wide (hence the P&P consistent with A Certain Chemistry). From the few crackling garbles we managed to discern through his posh speaking-trumpet as he passed in an exotic steam-boat, we gather the book to be about randomly surviving a catastrophe. Once again, it would be best for all concerned if you were to purchase the book by striding into the nearest book-shop (RRP £7); but if you are hell-bent on buying the thing from your sloping desk, we invite you to do so here. Now available in bracingly thick papered-back and US papered-back editions.
The "Love" book is £4.20 per copy (plus £2 P&P UK).

  A Certain Chemistry
A Certain Chemistry (US Edition)
US Edition
 
MR MILLINGTON's second comedy-novel is 30% longer than Things (hence the higher P&P) and seems to be about a man hired to ghost-write a celebrity's autobiography, or something. As usual, it would be best for all concerned if you were to walk into a shop with your legs and buy the book there (RRP £7), but if you must purchase these things online, you may as well do so here. Now available in wedgingly thick papered-back and US papered-back editions.

The original BRITAIN'S BRITON'S "Chemistry" book is now sold out. Some may still be available from Amazon.

Things The Book (Dutch Edition)
Dutch Edition
MR MILLINGTON's first comedy-novel. Most copies are now in the hands of private collectors, though we have secured a limited stock of the translated editions through burglary. The German Edition omits the jokes, reducing the book to 400 pages of screaming. The Dutch Edition may include additional pornography. There is also a Swedish Edition that we could not obtain because of a hound in the garden.

The original BRITAIN'S BRITON "Things" book is now sold out. Some may still be available from Amazon. The savage, guttural US Edition is also sold out. Some may still be available from that same place.
The "Things" book (German Edition) is £4 per copy (plus £1.50 P&P UK).

T-shaped shirt details
The Corner Shop's T-shaped shirts are Gildan Ultra (200gsm) or, for the "Splendid," Gildan Heavy (185gsm) cotton and are printed by those CHAMPIONS OF FABRIC Links, whose chief scientist has glowingly described The Weekly as "my most bothersome customer." Huzzah!

Shirt sizes are around 36" (S), 42" (M), 44" (L), 48" (XL) and 52" (XXL). If you want to compare them against your own T-shirts using Gildan's half-chest chart, lay out your shirt flat on its back and measure from bottom corner to bottom corner. Using the chart, our sizes correspond to about 20" (M), 22" (L) and 24" (XL). The skinny-fit/sunken consumptive F shirt is "one size" and measures about 16" on the half-chest scale.

Payment details
The Corner Shop uses tills operated by Paypal.

You can read some extra information about this fine upstanding electro-company, including the list of countries we're permitted by Paypal to recognise and why Nochex isn't here any more. .

If you live elsewhere - or you want to order more than the maximum of 5 items at a time - or you'd like your order delivered to an address other than the cardholder's - or, indeed, you'd prefer to pay by cheque, or have a question of startling originality we've failed to anticipate - contact us for a decisively swift response from a reasonably skilled clerk in a long coat atop a tall stool.

The "Splendid" is also available on different terms from Cybercandy. A head full of ruffled hairs to Geekstyle for painstakingly collating the shirt and Paypal details in a manner suitable for cribbing in a disguised hand.
