I like batteries, 16 AAs or 50 odd button cells for a quid.

Amazing how many of them work.

And a most excellent 5M protek tape measure :-)

[Andy Luckman (AJL Electronics)]

In Nice they are 1 Euro 80, in Cannes they are 2 Euro shops.

Names are nouns. Nouns are capitalised.

In German. Not so much in English.

Is this uk.d-i-y or uk.d-i-y.pedantics ?

[Rob Morley]

ITYM names are proper nouns, and proper nouns are capitalised.

What about eBay and ntl: and other names that make a point of not having an upper-case first letter?
