Amazon

Posted by geoff the bonnie User icon on June 26, 2026, 8:15 am

There used to be about 4 delivery vans coming along my road at various times of the day. I notice over the last few Months, there are none of the grey battery powered vans at all.
Amazon were having problems with range on the EV vans but the diesel ones are also gone missing.
I buy nothing from Amazon but many neighbours do.

When I read the title of your post I thought you were going to tell us you've bought it.

No problems with amazon my end and I get to use it more and more.
Can't but a wheelbarrow wheel in my hamlet, so I order it and its here next day. Saves me petrol and time.

Somebody spent £8.70 in ASDA in Leeds on my Barclaycard last month and I haven’t been north of Watford for months. After spending hours unsuccessfully trying to report this to Barclaycard I gave up the will to live. Why they have to make such a simple action so impossibly complicated is beyond me.

I still have no smart phone and using a Doro. Its very hard to work touch screens with hand tremors so keeping the simple phone.
My next car has a lot of voice control functions so that may be fun. Just have to shout ,Hey Google, and tell it what you want. Jerry cannot have this function as he might ask for a Lambretta

Same with me. Don't use them any more, I don't care how "convenient" it is. Besides, their owner is a globalist anti-Western-civilization barstid, I'm not funding him ....
