Expected delivery date = 14th April !!!
What?!


I know it's cheap, but however much it costs I ordered it because I actually need to use it, sometime soon hopefully.
Its because its coming from China, I bought a long HDMI cable, took a month to get here too!

Go buy some finger nail brushes from the pound shop

I think Amazon need to make it clearer if an item is being shipped from outside of the UK.

Indeed, there wasn't any info on my HDMI sellers page, I didn't pay any attention to the delivery date until I checked my order status.

I guess it was sent by overland shipping, which meant it arrived in on one of the giant container ships at Felixstowe, in one of thousands of containers. The voyage is about 4 weeks.

So Adam, I can always check the status of your order by the ships going past my window.

People who comment on how to bring up your children.

If they hadn't already noticed it was a challenge. If they also hadn't noticed one of the children was a respite care Downs Syndrome child with far end autism spectrum, so the request for the woman to keep her opinions to herself was the warning before I blew my lid.

"My children don't behave like that" wasn't a wise thing for her to say.

I stopped before I said what went through my mind; along the lines of "no one in my family dresses like a hooker or pokes a massive nose where it doesn't belong"
