Argey, the refunds situation is appalling. Why on earth does it take over a month to reimburse us? Even though I've received 5 damaged items, I only sent back one of them, like you, I can't get out and about right now and the hassle, along with the fact that I could be taking the sleep that needs no alarm clock by the time the money gets back into my account, just leaves me feeling that I'll just give it up as a bad job, and go back to my old bling-free existence.
Gawd, do you really think that there are peeps who enjoy the amplified market stall sales technique? Well, stop the ruddy world, I want to get off. I loathe it with a vengeance and simply can't comprehend anyone falling for such guff. Also can't be doing with the porkie pies - I am, after all, vegetarian...I've lost count of the amount (ooo, a rhyme) of times I've heard one of them say, in absolute amazement, "Lowest price ever!" to which I generally add, "And indeed, the ONLY price ever..." "And this kunzite is patroke-like in colour" "This has closed so much higher..." And also so much lower... "Look at the diamonds on this piece..." Hang on, I'll just get me binoculars...
"This is going to be an amaaazing game" Pardon me for being pedantic, but I don't regard buying something as a 'game'. When I used to go to the supermarket, I didn't think to meself, "Oh, look at those cheeses, I'm going to play a great game in here today, and then I'm going to play in the clothes shop and the stationers. An auction is not a ruddy game, and the people bidding are not players, they are customers parting with hard earned cash. Oh, and just one more thing, "I can't believe this is in an under £30 hour..." Neither can I, I wouldn't give you tuppence for it, so don't insult my intelligence.
And the one positive to be gained from all this: Alan is fab. There, you see, I do see the bigger picture.
