anyone up for boycotting waterstone's?

i'm still hacked off at border's for the time they told me i couldn't sit sideways (i.e. comfortably) in their armchair and then decided i was taking a nap in their store when i'd closed my eyes for thirty seconds (like you do, sometimes, when you've read yourself into a headache in the land of fluorescent lights) and scolded me for it -- but blackwell's, blackwell's, blackwell's, eh?

I would suggest to write to the corporate headquarters AND to the parent company. Obviously the boss at the Edinburgh Waterstone's agrees with the firing, since he's ultimately responsible for it. Letters to him will have roughly the effect Guardian readers letters had on Clark County voters in Ohio.
