Bought a new XT/SLX bottom bracket yesterday, a mere £13. Was a bit horrified to see on the final confirmation page that I was about to spend roughly £1700. Because I hadn't emptied the basket of all the parts I'd been putting in there for a speculative frame purchase as it was the easiest way of adding it all up, and CRC had saved it. The way they are at the moment I reckon I'd only have had about half an hour to cancel it before it started 'processing'.

Still, my mate once had 40 loaves of bread and nothing else delivered by Tesco because he'd added them to his basket to reserve a delivery slot then completely forgotten about the whole thing.

Think you nailed it there.... You did look at the page and total before entering your payment details? If not I have some magic beans only £1.99

I mean, its one of those things that would be more annoying if it didn't remember your stuff.

It's just something you need to make habit. Sort of like reading the total on the card machine to make sure the decimal point is in the right place.

Yes please Mike, 3 bags!

Just spotted in time but only after I'd done PayPal and all that, one button to go. Would have taken a bit of explaining - at least for once 'I bought it all by accident' would be true.

There was only loaves and no fish, so no.

Just ask them to convert your water into wine.
Always a dead giveaway.
