After approximately 44 hours of waiting for the payment to arrive, the guy who bought the iMac G4 has just told me he wants to cancel; he didn't notice that there was a crack in the screen surround, even though it's mentioned in the item description and there's a close-up picture of the crack.

Oh well, no harm done apart from my annoyance, and at least it's packed now so I will be able to send this easily when it does sell.

Since it turns out that the buyer (a) only joined eBay two days ago and (b) was based in China I'm feeling a little relieved.

In April (2016) the Home Office and Theresa May are introducing a pay threshold for people to remain here, after already working here for 5 years. This only affects non-EU citizens that earn under £35,000 a year, which unfairly discriminates against charity workers, nurses, students and others.

This ridiculous measure is only going to affect 40,000 people who have already been living and working in the UK for 5 years, contributing to our culture and economy. It will drive more workers from the NHS and people from their families. This empty gesture will barely affect the immigration statistics. It's a waste of time, money and lives.

This is the first time the UK has discriminated against low-earners. £35k is an unreasonably high threshold. The UK will lose thousands of skilled workers.

Petition against it here:
