For my birthday, Mrs Swiveller got me a signed copy of Adrian Edmondson's autobiography. I just had a look on Amazon to see how much an unsigned copy was so I could leave the signed one nice and along with the real one, I saw this "biography" as well. I mean the fact it is 31 pages should give away the fact it is a scam but the picture is amazing!

How is it Amazon's fault that Ade Edmondson is an unfunny cock? 31 pages seems about right :lol:

I want the High Street - well London Road anyway - to be fully pedestrianised so that it can grow and flourish, rather than be a traffic-clogged mess

I tell you who have given up - Royal Mail. I could just about put the lack of Christmas Cards down to being an unpopular arse but no post at all for several days? A year ago I was sat on tenterhooks waiting for my Charlton tickets. Those arrived in January. In the summer they failed to deliver our parking permit and we had to go to the council for a replacement after getting a ticket, and now no post at all for days on end this close to Christmas and with bills, statements and two polling cards all due.

I know there are some posties on here and I'm sure none of you are MY postie. Nor am I blaming you particularly. But what gives chaps? WTF gives?

Yup, Royal Mail is going the way of NHS dentists

Hmm. I thought a picture of a random bald bloke with glasses on the cover was mildly amusing but it seems to have degenerated into a Mumsnet rant quite quickly.
You're new here aren't you?

I assume 90% of the people who slag Amazon off actually use them fairly regularly?

I love to moan about how the high street is dying and it's all Amazon's fault, but when I realised this morning I'd run out of vitamin D tablets, was I going to walk to Boots in the pissing rain, or was I going to spend less money and have a man deliver them to my door?

given up? Amazon provide the services for people to publish, create a short story, book of pictures, print on demand so no stock. marvellous innovation for the little people.

though also, proliferation of guff that publishers would previously filter out.

Last year the postmen went on strike, because their pay offer was very conditional on all their terms and conditions were altered. They lost which meant the postmen just left and haven't been replaced.

A few months ago, my husband was expecting an important letter and it was just a few days to go to my birthday, so we knew post was incoming. He went to the sorting office at 8am on a Saturday morning to pick up the mail for us, otherwise it wouldn't have been delivered for another week or so.
He was told there are 14 rounds in Newhaven, and, at the time, only 6 posties to do it. Everyone else had left.

This is why it is important to look at why people are striking and not accuse them of being greedy in wanting to be able to pay their bills.
