A parcel being delivered by FedEx from Belgium has been stuck at CDG airport now for 4 days. Eventually got to speak to someone at FedEx and "there's a massive backlog, we've got no idea when your parcel will get through". Talk about inept. ____________________ TG. |

Just reading an article on inflation and, yes it's affecting me but no where near as much as a lot of people.
However I do actually wonder who writes some of these articles. Are they written just to cause a reaction? (It is the BBC)
The one I am reading, amongsts other things states Rebecca Brown, a full-time PhD student at the University of Nottingham, is worried about what will happen when her energy bills go up again this winter.
Fair enough, it's not going to be pleasant at all. But then in the next paragraph she says "After rent and bills plus my bus fare, phone, Netflix and Spotify bills, that leaves me around £300 to £400 a month for food, fun and necessities," she said.
Whoa a minute, Netflix and Spotify bills? I have no idea of the cost of Spotify but if it's the same as Netflix that's an instant saving of about £20 a month, £240 a year. Not a huge amount but Netflix and Spotify are hardly necessities to living.
Is this a case of first world priorities?

People think they NEED internet. A phone, etc. I'd argue we don't NEED electricity or gas. They're all luxuries that we have simply grown dependant on. In the case of phones and internet (and TV) I think we'd all agree that it's simply an addiction. The Internet has been a recognised addiction since the at least the early 90's when it really exploded with public availability and ironically, you could even visit specialised BBS's which tried to resolve/help with internet addiction. One was called the Internet Addiction Support Group (IASG).....
