You know what really makes me happy?

this email I received.

I don’t think anyone realistically expected Amazon to go through with it…(this for those not in the know)
people don’t get to choose if their CC is Visa or Mastercard/other and would have wiped out a large % of their paying customers

Amazon Visa

Agreed… I knew from the outset VISA would do whatever they could to remain amicable with Amazon.

Anyone that rushed to change their CC because they thought they wouldn’t be able to shop at Amazon, needs a reality check with how money makes the world go round

Or buy things from other places. Oddly there are more shops and “places” than amazon.

I hate Amazon, but sometimes it’s the easiest option (mainly when you realise you’ve forgotten a valentine’s/anniversary/birthday present and need next day delivery

Argos same day every day!

Our Argos is :poop:. Never has stock. I am doing much better at using local independent shops though, generally much better customer service

Amazon gave me £20 to change away from Visa, must have cost them millions.

Hah… I thought it was a phising email so I deleted it :rofl:

I’m normally quite quick to criticise the train service in this country (usually in a jovial manner), but today a delayed train proved to be very fortuitous.

For each of the 3 legs of my journey, the trains were running hourly only. The train for leg 2 was due to leave about 55 minutes after I got off the train at the end of leg 1. Thinking I had plenty of time to kill, I decided to head outside, get some “air” and find something to drink.

Halfway up the steps an announcement came on saying that the next train coming in was the leg 2 train from an hour before. Turns out, it was running 10 minutes late. I buried my need for nicotine in favour of my need for getting home and darted back down the stairs again.

Leg 2 finished at King’s Cross about 2 minutes before leg 3 left St Pancras. Clearly I wasn’t making that connection, but then it was unlikely I’d have made it if I’d got the later train anyway. So it was off to the Harry Potter shop, then to Greggs, a hit of nicotine and then boarding the 15.25 train home rather than the 16.25 train.

I’m sure it was all rather frustrating for those who would have preferred the delayed train to be running on time, but given how rough I was feeling today (bit of a sesh last night!) I’m most definitely not complaining :sweat_smile:

TL;DR - A delayed train has resulted in me being able to get home an hour earlier than I thought.
