Gorilla Glue. The most useless, expensive glue I've ever attempted to use. If you are lucky you might get to use it once before the whole bottle dries up and you have to throw it away.

And let's guess which price is used to calculate the #BlackFriday discount percentage on #Amazon? Yep. The price they jacked it up to on a single day over the last 3 months. Would be illegal to do this in a high street shop.

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (alias "Tommy Robinson") has been promoting a brand called "UTK". These items are made by Nation Wear Ltd, in Bangladeshi Muslim sweat shops. The company is run by a Turkish national who lives in Turkey.
Not a British worker in sight.
How very Globalist of him 😂

One of the organisers of the wave of flag humping is Lee Twamley.
In 2016, he was stopped at the border. In the back of his Ford van were four Vietnamese people he was smuggling into the UK. He was convicted for being part of an illegal immigration gang.

This scammer so loved my brutal response on his first try he just kept ringing me back for more. I literally ran out of put downs so had to switch to music. He only stayed for 2 songs.

Another User Interface gem. This time from Trainline. This time the requirement to enter a password you don't know in order to reset a forgotten password.

Spotted on my local selling page. This is what happens when you buy garbage from Temu. Buy a safari canvas style tent. Get a large inflatable carrier bag. What a waste of money, never mind global resources.

Welcome to the AI nightmare of lazy, useless chat bots.
To change your email address on Halfords. com it tells you to "Chat with an advisor". When you do that the advisor tells you to chat to an advisor. It has the self awareness of a potato.
If anyone from #Halfords reads this please sort it.

Quite surprised to see B&Q selling expired fire extinguishers. Clearly no quality control or minimum standards required to hawk stuff on their Marketplace 🙄 #DIY #B&Q #FireSafety

RIP Allan Ahlberg. Co-author of my favourite childhood book. "Cops and Robbers". It literally provided the early groundwork for my love of "Robocop". Criminals beat up the hero character who fights back with disproportionate violence to uphold the law.

I don't need to be contacted by scammers and I'm not a desperate sad-sack who needs "adult" content.
So I'll be avoiding the identity theft risk by ignoring this nonsense.

Culinare. Another garbage brand that cant make a tin opener that works. I don't want AI. I just want a tin opener than opens tins. Like they used to back in the 80s.

Just a reminder that the "Green Homes Scheme" letters sent to people's home addresses are a scam.
The people sending them are scammers.
The letter is full of inaccuracies and straight up lies.
