Today thick fog, bit of an awkward drive both to and from the pool. It's only just started to lift and I can just see the bottom of the garden.

The trouble is,  there are so many of the useful old shops disappeared from this high street now.
More and more shops I used to buy from have gone,  and that is why I have to send off for more things now,  hence the annoying reviews.

Thanks Klondy.   I can't remember exactly when I did it though,  but I suppose it should all be in my Octopus account,  so I will have a look there.

Glad you took the fix Miups? I am.

Yes, I certainly am.    But I can't remember how long it's 'fixed'  for,   can you?

I have heard talk about it all going up by 25%  in January!!   

Reviews.   Do you mind being questioned online about everything you buy?  
I do.

I did a review recently for a thermostat I had bought.    I did that one,  and then a few days later got asked to do another review by the same firm.
I wrote to them and said I had already done this, and wasn't prepared to do it twice,   to which their reply was - "The first review was for the service you received,  and the second one is for the product itself."
I replied I wasn't prepared to do 2 reviews, and that's the end of it.

We don't get pestered when we come out of Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda etc by people hanging about in the foyer and nosing through our shopping to ask why we bought a certain thing,   do we,  so why do they do it with online shopping?     Some of their silly questions can go on for pages too.
If I don't answer,  they write again!

It really gets on my wick when every single thing I purchase online, I then get questioned about.
Then another one is,  now even the Courier firms do it, too,  with their  . . .  "How was your delivery",  and  "Did the driver leave it in your safe place?"   etc.
