I’ve stopped using Amazon. Now use Hive. Ordered a book. Left on door step in rain. Requested replacement. Same again. Tried to complain. Site not monitored. Tried to phone. No phone No. crazy situation they send the book in cardboard. But when you return the post office put in a plastic bag.

I work in a large supermarket. Every Sunday shoppers get annoyed about the Sunday trading laws. Why can’t I collect my parcel , it’s nearly 11 can’t you open the tills. To one very agitated lady I said do you go to church, yes, Well next time you’re there speak to them they made the rules.

I agree with you I regularly get up at 5 am . all I hear us gentle snoring. When my better half’s gets up early her alarm rings for ever. Then crashes on the floor. Then the hair dryer goes on. When I raised this all she says is you pat my head once but your dog gets many tummy rubs and pats.true

When my wife was in her 20’s she was out to dinner with directors of the company they had merged with. She was sat next to an older director who the more he drank the more inappropriate his questions became. At the time she made an excuse and I collected her. She says now she would call him out

Sat in a coffee shop 2 gentlemen were having a robust discussion about why their church was the right and only way to heaven. The crazy thing is both CofE and about 1/2 Mile. Each is lucky to get 20 worshipers.Turned to me, do you want the to know the path to eternal life with my knees. No thanks.

Agree . Our youngest recommended a warmed home made ginger shot. Now that’s next level rocket fuel on a frosty morning.

school libraries can spark a love of books. At primary school the bigger boys would pinch our football. give it back, fight you for it. They never asked if I boxed. Off again to the head masters. I need to punish you. Give me detention in the library. Good idea. 3 months reading. Love it

Back on the 90’s they were surprised that I was a match to a lady with children. When I visited her they asked me to see if there was some connection to explain why I was such a good match. Science has made such advances that the match is probably not so surprising.

Late 80’s my wife registered me as a bone marrow doner. on the 3rd occasion I was a match. My bone marrow travelled to the USA on Concorde . Due to issues neither party was allowed information. I later found out she came from Oklahoma. Match probably on my mothers side as relatives Irish

Like all in Society not all disabled can be lumped into one group. Friends who are disabled get annoyed at those who play the system as they believe it gives politicians excuses to make it harder for genuine claimants

I suspect thus is driven by large organisations who hate being held to account. My daughters an architect in a local council working on multi £ contracts her role is to hold contractors to account in cost and standards. Sack her and we all pay higher taxes

Yes watched that lots of swearing. I can recommend the Diplomat and the Queens gambit again on Netflix

On this matter I disagree . Social media means we no longer live in an isolated bubble . Not watching a programme is a choice. How long should people wait. Maybe those who watched it wish to share their experiences. Best stay off social media until you have watched it

I must take issue with your belief that dyslexia will exclude people from reading books. an academic visited my daughter’s school .wish to meet students who might be dyslexic. daughters were diagnosed . Supported them to find solutions One is an architect the other in business and both avid readers.
