    Eh? Have you been tracking my online activity you fiend!

    No mate, I only buy stuff I need and most of it is for the tuition work I do, stationary, printer disposables etc.

    It's money well spent a damn site moreso than David Icke's latest DVD <whistle>

    Are you close enough to hear the huge sigh of despair coming from the poor ****ers who work there?

    Amazon, Uber, Microsoft, Sports Direct...these are some of the **** companies I try to avoid as much as possible.

    Oh, and I never set foot in Wetherspoons.

    Consumers have real power if they choose to use it btw; boycotting South African goods, engineered not by governments but by activists reaching out to consumers, played a huge part in bringing about the end of Apartheid.

    Do you think..... Maybe you should put your pen to good use like icke and see how you get on with book sales.

    Or you just remain a non entity spewing nonsense on a tin pot forum of less than 50 constantly active members who live a life on here

    I spend half my time in full time work and another good chunk running a part time business. The little that's left over is spent with the wife. Forgive me if I don't want to spend more time trawling south wales for some generally hard to source items.

    Moving to better facilities?

    I notice you're playing Barnet on March 10th. You should find out if @Looney Leftie is heading over for that.

    I wasn’t referring to Alexa and no it isn’t, it’s about convenience which is why the service has proved so popular.

    Some, like me despise going into Town centre bumpin into Ex’s lef right n centre

    Plus the shops have limited choices, top prices and I have to talk to ****s to make the purchase

    Only qualm about internet shopping is purchasing clothing, I like to try my Garms before buying because sizes can be misleading nowadays...we not all got Anorexic legs so we dont like them kinda Jeans...still, I do buy clothes from the internet because it’s great for Rare items.

    Ive been around for long enough to avoid buying items from the far flung corners of the world and I don’t fall for deals that are too good to be true...basically if you got a bit of savvy about you then you should have no probs.

    As for spying on me...if they want me they will get me anyway...so fk da Police

    All in all...Amazon works

    Amazon works. McDonalds works. Chlorinated chicken works, and battery hens, and cheap trainers made by slave labour in China - it all works, if you’re on the right side of the deal. Doesn’t work so well if you’re one of the millions getting exploited for the convenience of others though.

    The Valley’s pothead is right on this one; we all have a choice to patronise ethical businesses and boycott the **** companies, if we choose to use that choice.

    3 quarters seems a bit much.

    Keep shopping on Amazon guys its helping me pay for my new house. Thanks.

    Edit. Only just noticed you mentioned Wish, which skews the figures as it's entirely made up of cheap Chinese knock-offs.
