I like the tracking services with Royal Mail and other couriers that show you the current location of your parcel. I find that fascinating. :hehe:

I await the day that they'll have active GPS in the parcel so that I can literally see it moving...

Usually get that with parcels from the US too. Then they turn up at your door demanding money for the parcel because the sender didn't pay the correct import/export fees :fist:.

It'll be like that from Europe soon enough too of course :hee:. #importfees #brexit #farage #notracking4u

Just poking myself into the Echo conversation above, they really do look good, but the whole only being allowed to set up in one room seems very inconvenient.

I'd want to listen to the radio in my room, but then take it into the kitchen and ask her to help out with recipes.

And yeah this news is going to screw me over a bit. Have got 3 gifts left to post and haven't bought one of them yet :laugh:
I'm pretty sure they do a monthly subscription now. It'll work out dearer over a year, but you can cancel it at any time rather than the full year upfront.

Argos drivers now too, oh and don't forget the southern train strike.

"Argos drivers now too,"


they are Fools
as Amazon will Win the battle
beating Sainsbury-Argos Corp.


Some Companies Now have No Unions
I am able to work with them FASTER

Sorry. I agree with the doctors/teaching assistant strikes, but these (and british airways staff...and any other random dickheads who want attention) need to **** off. Bandwagon jumpers. Post office staff and flight attendants are piss easy to replace so they shouldn't push their luck too much..

"Post office staff and flight attendants are piss easy to replace so they shouldn't push their luck too much.. "

Its simple, Vicky
the Last Crown High Street
Post Offices are going to Close
they will merge into a WH SMITH store
or a Supermarket.


No one can stop this.
Unions are Fools
to think they can stop this.

Because of British Customs taxes, extra costs are often out of the sellers control. Gifts over £36 and none gifts over £15 are subject 20% VAT. You will also be taxed on postage costs and admin.
