    I take it that post is a tongue in cheek one.

    No ,your post previous " Paid peanuts, worked their fingers to the bone, permanently on call, etc. A great job, whilst his lordship would spend more on his after dinner cigar than he would on a month's wages for his staff. Borderline slavery." is so accurate in describing working for Amazon it's uncanny :emoticon-0100-smile

    Sorry, but Amazon's demands on their workforce in no way equate to, or can possibly be worse than, those of the servant class from years gone by.

    So are you saying that conditions today are not worthy of comment. The difference today is we have historical records of previous conditions and an educated population and yet we have minimum wage which is exploited ,non contracted hours but I suppose we have food banks so all's well with the world

    Where did I say that ? I do wish posters wouldn't make things up. We are having a discussion, and our views do not coincide. That's all it is, Nothing more. <ok>

    No, but pissed in it a few times. Swam in the Tawe a few times, that’s why I might be mad, all them heavy metals. Now where’s my Motörhead album!! :)
