Quote from: Mups on Today at 10:06:57 PMI know this will probably sound really dim,  but what is Temu?
I keep hearing people saying they use it,  but I don't really know what it is.
Is it just another online shop?    Where are they?

Oh dear,  I have just googled this,  and this is what came up:


Quote:

Temu is considered safe for transactions in the UK regarding payment security—using SSL encryption and reputable payment providers—but it carries risks regarding product quality, safety standards, and data privacy. While many users receive goods as described, investigations have found dangerous electrical items, toxic heavy metals in items, and poor quality control.

I think that's put me off for a start!

Yes, I've just read this.  I find it encouraging that, despite our present government continuing to damage our country, and also TwoTier's failure to support Trump re. Iran, Trump is willing to make an effort to save our country from its present continuing invasion.
Of course, there will still be many British people who hate Trump and America, and even some who agree with the illegal invasion of our country.  However, I still believe that most genuine British people will welcome any help in this regard from America.  I certainly do, as a Reform government are not expected to arrive for another three years.

Yes,  I am almost paranoid about it Raven,  especially,  as I have said before,  Gertie is an avid gardener and digs and prunes all the time!

Quote from: Raven on Today at 08:06:01 PMIf I'm in Perth I always root around in Matalan, Bonmarsh, and George. I like all the stuff I see in those places. But I buy a lot (too much) from Temu these days.  :busted: Bad Roxy, BAD.  :nooo:

Lidl's empty. There's nobody there
Facing Co-Op prices they haven't a prayer
Yet Tesco & Sainsbury's both have queues
I suppose really, it depends on your views
Waitrose? If value for money isn't your care.
