Fair point.

Ah yes - the McPiss. Always handy when on the road but TBH I never used one in town. Mind you it isn't often I go to town and never for long. 

I can't recall where I read it but I do recall the statement that car park lifts always seem to smell of impatience. Having dragged the tone right down I shall depart.

THIS  More and more articles I want to read are doing this. OR they want you to pay.

[dextrous63]

Disgraceful for them to want to be paid for their work.

[Alex]

Can't you put article heading into Google and read it that way  ?

No If they want paid fair enough, you sell the newspaper. You don't stick it up on google.

I've recently noticed that too, Raven.
I won't do it. I am not paying to read just one article.
If I wanted to pay, I would buy the whole newspaper.

Use search engines like Google: Copy the headline of the paywalled article, paste it into Google, and click on the search result to open the article.

Sure someone mentioned this on here a few months ago. 

[klondike]

Yes I've seen it mentioned. TBH I'm usually only reading stuff on the internet to pass the time rather than gather information and if a story is paywalled I just move on and read something else.

Well I joined, we'll see how it goes.

Junk products.

I got a new phone. So I needed a new phone case. I like the wallet cases that take cards and notes. The wrap over flap can be annoying at times and I saw one with a magnetic fastening. I put in the phone and it closes with a satisfying little click. I put 3 cards into the 3 slots. It won't shut properly.  Return.

I bought a little rechargeable sensor light off eBay. The only reason I got it is because Evri were giving the one I bought off AliExpress a tour of the country or something before delivering it. Amazingly it arrived before the eBay one. Probably because somebody decided it wasn't worth pinching. It worked very well. I thought of somewhere else I could use the eBay one. I checked it triggered. A day or so later it wasn't working. It was flat. I recharged it and checked it again. It goes on but doesn't turn off again. Return

On the bright side I'm only 100 yards from a Post Office.
I'm a regular customer.

Seeing something in the SALE that you paid top price for.

That happens all the time on Amazon with some things.
