The total cost of Christmas

I am sitting in the slight discomfort of my desk chair with the cat on my knee (hence the discomfort – if I move, she’ll jump off and she’s keeping me warm) doing the first of my Xmas shopping on the Internet, using FireFox3. I came across something that is absolutely perfect for someone I know, whose identity I will not disclose. I will also not disclose the nature of the present. Don’t to spoil someone’s surprise, do I?

Anyway, I went through the usual procedure of clicking on the item I wished to purchase and so on, and got to the checkout, where I imagined I’d be given the damage, including the postage and whatnot, only to see that the vital column has been missed off!

The 'total' row of the checkout page of a website; the total itself is missing from the page.

How much?!

Tell the world about this!
