Spartacus

By that mark DR England won a World War under a Conservative government Just Saying! But I still don't get your point 😕

Its equivalent of saying "Some cyclists cycle dangerously on the pavement, so is it acceptable to use my key for the cycle locker and letting the tyres down on all the bikes to stop the few who flout the rules" Without know why someone has a certain car, its unfair to treat all suv owners the same. Ps I wouldn't do the cycles as a stick in the spokes is far more of a message when they ride on the pavement. 🤣

Maybe rahx3 they should be targeting the companies that sell and promote SUVs to the masses If they weren't available or advertised as status symbols, then they wouldn't be on the streets but people are sheep and buying something because it enhances their status is how advertising works 🤔 As someone pointed out, there are risks associated with partially deflated tires, imagine if the driver didn't notice, drove off, tried to do an emergency stop and lost traction causing an accident! Would you still be sitting on the fence watching ?

Climate activists is possibly closer rahx3 although its still vandalism of other's property so it shouldn't be applauded.

Ah so according to the Labour Council, its all the tories fault and absolutely nothing to do with the Mayor 🤔 Politics out of running London is what's needed

Almost as scary as "dead happy" life insurance 🤔

Alan, I think younger shoppers (16 to 30s) tend to buy lots to try them on then return what they don't want as returns are easy for them but obviously not for the retailer Asos are also reporting higher then expected returns at the moment.

Gwad DR, that's some sleuthing there. Have you ever thought of working in Internet law enforcement ?

If you've been a dedicated follower of fashion you can't have missed the collapse of Missguided recently For those who don't know it is / was an online fashion house selling clothes. The BBC has a story on it today saying that any customer who is owed refunds or money possibly won't be getting it back from the firm. However, in the story there is a clue to the problems that face online clothing retailers at the moment It talks about one lady who is quoted as saying "I was looking for a dress for a friend's wedding so I naturally ordered lots of options to try on," and then goes on to saying she returned 7 items. Perfectly reasonable you might say, but then let's look from the companies point. They would need to process the seven items, check for damage or worst still unexpected stains, remove any items that couldn't be resold then either repackage as new or sell as returns the items (all taking time and money) then on top they need to refund the customer for the items they have returned causing uncertainty in the companies cash flow and profits. A customer buying 8 items for say ?200 then returning 7 and expecting to pay say ?25 for the one item they keep is a massive issue for the company (especially as the customer has a good window for returns) Even more of an issue is if an item is returned at the end of the window and by time its put back in stock the season for its over. Who's fault is it ? From a customers point not theirs as they need to try on different sizes or options From the businesses point, not theirs as customers are doing higher returns then expected. So what's the solution ? The only real solution here is for customers to return to the high street, try clothes on in the store where they can be quickly inspected and put back out on the racks if the customer says no Or A click and collect hybrid, where you order clothes to be delivered to a local small retail space, try them on and reject the ones you don't want there and then but pay for the ones you take. Unfortunately we aren't all exactly the same sizes, shape or complexion so buying over the Internet will always be difficult whereas a physical store, whilst having other costs associated with it, may well be the win win solution for everyone.

Ken, just had an image of you with your arms deep in a bowel of East DAZwich washing suds trying to get logic out of posts 🤔🤣 Was amused that your DM thanked me for your "Massage" (I didn't touch him honest Admin) As said in my message to you, Caulie sent me not one but two (possibly flaming) PMs both deleted unopened. Maybe my analysis above hit a nerve .. we will never know.

Have you noticed the rise in apps that farm your face (face changer or face drawing apps) that process your data and image? Imagine what a valid resource online photos are despite how weird the camera makes us all look.

There was a time when the Grasshopper pub and nightclub at Westerham was cited by a tabloid as the place to go for swingers. Did wonders for their takings as hordes of single lads descended on it for a while. That's as outer London as you could get. Guess with all the young wealthy families here, as first mate pointed out, we will have to wait a few more years till their kids are old enough for their parents to go wild and explore their chained up sexuality to make ED swing again 😉
