Second cuppa went down well with a toasted white crust and lemon curd

How long do you have to wait for that to form ?

Called into town for few bits only to find that one item i'd only bought yesterday has over night gone up 30p
How's that work, hope no-one notices ?

Does the Rail Dohlivery Group have anything to do with Homer Simpson ?

I just saw an ad for Disneyland, that claims that anything is possible, if I can imagine it.

Suddenly, I can imagine them giving me a free holiday.

i'd say no he's at least able to partly function.

In the past couple of months, everything I have purchased from Ebay seems to have been delayed, got lost or some other complication. What on earth is going on.

I rarely look at Ebay nowadays, it was useful when I was selling my camera gear last year, but buying seems crazy. Loads of sellers trying to sell stuff at more than you will pay buying from a regular shop / company website. I always double check with Amazon too. We were buying some garden goalposts for our grandson just before Christmas. My daughter sent me the Amazon link. The link went to the manufacturers own storefront on Amazon and with the cost of the item and the £19.99 delivery charge it came to about £130. I went to the manufacturers website, saw they had various offers and got the same item for £80 with £7.99 delivery.

More and more Amazon seems to be cheap and nasty Chinese stuff that doesn’t last. Brand names are rarely any cheaper than elsewhere. I think maybe their market boom has peaked.

I had 3 out of 10 things turn up.

I had (surprisingly) immediate refunds for the other 7 (of which 2 turned up - days later).
