Why...

[dextrous63]

Me too, Tabs. 

Can't think of one good reason why I'd need one.  It's just yet another gadget to go wrong!

You could amuse yourself by asking Alexa what coffee bean 100 in Welsh is.

(It's very very very rude!!!!)

That was just how I felt until my kitchen radio broke and I needed to buy a new one......I bought an Alexa instead and now I listen to the radio and can get any station.  If I fancy a change I say ' Alexa play Eros Ramazotti ' and believe it or not she finds him    I keep my shopping list with Alexa too, if I suddenly remember I'm out of milk I interrupt the music and ask Alexa to add milk to my list.  I find this very useful

She talks a lot.. but is still my friend.. She plays any music that I ask for and reminds me when my pie is cooked..
She does as she is told.. A bit like a wife really..

Just spotted on offer at Amazon for £29.99

Not really. Wives remind you that the windows need cleaning and youi still haven't properly finished the previous job. My Alexa is so annoyed with me that she hardly speaks to me at all - now that's like a wife at times.

We must be the only people in the U.K. who don't have an Alexa , don't know how to set them up .
We need to kidnap a teenager while they still know everything .🙁

[Raven]

We don't have one either, not the slightest bit interested in having one.

Absolutely.
If we didn't already have one, it would be first on my shopping list (apart from beer and butter beans).
Alexa can do just about anything, except for cutting my hair (but Marge does that for free).

If only she could. Perhaps then Dex wouldn't be so jealous of mine poor soul.

We haven't got one either. But my kids have.  Might get our son to set one up for us.  He's far from a teen, but he's IT savvy.

Marge set up ours, so I can't speak from personal experience, but she found it very easy.
You do need an internet connection for full use, though.

[Michael Rolls]

I haven't got one and have no intention of getting one

Thanks Alex, I didn't realize that I could use her for my shopping list.  I usually keep a pad next to Alexa but sometimes accidentally mislay it.  
She sometimes asks us, totally out of the blue, to rate something we bought a while ago.  Paul can't be bothered to try to remember so just says anything (it's usually a book) so don't rely too much on ratings!

[Scrumpy]

I usually write things to remember to buy on a bit of paper and stick it in my bag.. Never to be seen again..
