Use the Green Cross Code before you buy :)

[cheeky chappie]

Think. Find a safe place to consider what you're doing.

Stop. Just before you check out your basket, stop and once again consider what you're doing.

Look. Look all around you to see if a better deal can be had elsewhere for the same or similar product.

Wait. If the presenter keeps spouting bullsh1t, let it pass. Do you really need or even want the product?

Look and listen again. When it is safe and there is no presenter bullsh1t, once again stop and consider what you're doing.

Arrive alive. Look, keep looking and seriously consider crossing to the other side safely, the 'other side' being another channel

Wise advice - reminds me a lot of the DRONE code:

D – Do not buy a drone from IW/Shop Extra
R - Really: you should not buy a drone from IW/Shop Extra
O - Only buy a drone from a reputable retailer*, not IW/Shop Extra
N - Never allow someone else to buy a drone from IW/Shop Extra
E - Expect to return any drone you buy from IW/Shop Extra

*Excludes, to quote Richard: "the really big toy shop in London that begins with a H" ​

Great stuff. Props to you both. Laughed out loud.

@JeepSwensonfan will be aghast, as he's desperate to buy a red-hued cam-enabled RDM drone from SE at a vastly exaggerated price!

How DARE you post something like this, you should be ASHAMED of yourself!!!

Do you not realise these drones are PACKED with extremely useful features. For example holding your hand under the drone and it following you around. This is a VERY useful feature, because we all know drones are predominantly used at 3-4 feet off the ground with the downwards pointing camera recording a hand/palm. The Discovery Channel would pay millions for such footage.

So THINK ON!!!

if you watch those demos closely it's more often the case that Richard's palm follows the drone whatever it decides to go rather than the drone following his palm

not a feature you get in drones £800, £900, or £10,000 …as their tracking works.
