Black Friday ? Yer right...........

[Pow-Lo]

Looks like the retailers have managed to score a massive own goal with this one now.
Because it is no longer black Friday but black couple of weeks at least, shoppers no longer felt the urge to buy 'on the day'.. Locally the footfall in the big shops was actually LESS than was expected on a normal Friday !

Given that everybody has at least three feet where you live, that is indeed worrying :-0)

I am sure if you buy lots of stuff from Amazon it is excellent.. ll I usually get from them is my Kindle books..This Echo buy is the first purchase I have made from the site in over a year.

The thing with Prime membership is that family members can be added. Ok, ?79 seems a lot but we order a fair bit of stuff from there. As one example, I buy all my razor blades and shave oil from there because it's cheaper than Mozzers.

Then there's the bonus of Amazon TV. Not much if you don't watch a lot of TV but like Netflix, for me it's priceless because local TV here is fuckin' last. The programmes and films are great on paper but they are so heavily censored that it renders them pointless. A friend/client of mine here didn't find out that Anakin Skywalker had his hand lopped off until she was in her mid-twenties.

Oh bloody hell! who is he and how did it happen? I'm in my sixties if that helps.

Don't get me started ( oopss. You already have ! LOL !! ) on how morally wrong the marketing for Netflix etc etc is
Not one of the adverts mentions the cost of getting the services to your tv or how much bandwidth they are likely to use.
OK, a lot of people ( proly most people ) have unlimited internet but there are folk who do not.

I could rant on an get even more boring that usual and give examples of people having real difficulties ( caused by a lack of understanding of exactly how it all works ) but I am sure you guys already know and appreciate where I am coming from
