Im not that worried over Grey imports, they feel like a legitimate saving. I now no longer feel 'discount for cash' (evading appropriate taxes) is fair. At one time that seemed unimportant, but now, public services being cut etc, it seems very wrong, to be exasperating things.

Particularly young men often believe they will live forever - evinced in much of their behaviour. Don't believe there's any suggestion of it here, but fuelled by alcohol they are sometimes proved wrong.\

When I visited, I met a man with 40 wives !!!!!!!!!

It seems some here are getting a£&?y because they were asked for discount. I don't really see why - if they were friends or mates then I would have thought it reasonable to give it - asked or not. If you are so busy you are loosing money you would otherwise be earning; then you can decide if...

My family have had a couple of Nikons which I feel always gave good results. My daughter has a now has a Samsung which again I feel's good. If she's after something to carry around easily I'd try & get the best quality 'body' (metal) so tough. Better results are possible with a 2nd hand bridge...

Someone's fallen out with 'The Bay'. In my experience through dispute or just dialogue with the vendor have always worked out well for me. The later usually produces good results, & leaves the former if it goes wrong.

Im sure you know, but.......In my experience the repairs are often more than the cost of replacement for many modern devices. By the time something's been shipped to & from, faulted, striped the faulty bit identified removed, a replacement shipped from wherever, fitted, tested the repair...

Three things - 1 Computers should have a breathalyser to deny access when inebriated. A keyboard with this feature, I believe this would be a good one for Dragons Den. 2 Actually I've never been let down by Ebay. I've always been happy with the purchase when received, all-be-it not all...

Oh I forgot 4 - count em, 4 men in a car , not 1 man 1 women 2 kids, not even 2 mixed sex couples, any one of which groups could contain a terrorist of course. However added to all the other factors they (including colour) - they merited investigation. For that to be worthwhile it would entail...

Someone can be as racist / sexist / or just ist as they like - no offence but to act in those ways may incur force of law (Even - perhaps especially for those enforcing the law). Stereotyping is a valuable tool of law enforcement, but is not to be used in isolation. Stereotyping through race...

I wonder if not through stupidity or thoughtlessness, or genuine terrorist activity, if there may be an element of devilment. Like the two lads who caused a panic on a flight - getting on with big padded coats in the middle of summer, so they could claim 'racial persecution' when authorities...

Everyone likes a member to be 'established' with lots of FB. Then if they value there membership, they wont want to be fired off for some dodgy deal. Some fears may be allayed by accepting part payment first the rest on receipt (both seller & buyer take a risk). I've always found Ebay ok, - less...

I 'feel' that it's probably the photographers call. I think that publishing photos is important, video maybe more so. People can see the horrors of the war & decide if its something they can support or tolerate. Press coverage has altered conflict.(As have 'modern weapons') We are more remote...

It seems a common misconception that the Police get away with all sorts of bad even criminal behaviour without being held to account. I disagree, & believe Police complaints authority thoroughly investigate such allegations. The fact they dont (cant) pursue all complaints to the satisfaction of...

I never said these things don't happen, but if they always happen to you something is wrong. Policing IS by consent. I get the feeling you could fall out with someone in an empty room. Blame bad aggressive Police officers, or officers who talk to you, blame Chief Constables, people who smile at...
