Minor niggles
Jun. 29th, 2024 11:15 amI am getting fed up of Amazon passive aggressively pushing their Prime membership. My elderly friend wanted me to order a book for her, which I'm happy to do. However, Amazon wanted me to sign up for Prime for 0.99p or otherwise pay £3.99 for next day delivery of the book. Normally there is free delivery if you're prepared to wait. Pickup at a post office was available, but our post office is still closed, so it would have meant driving to either Fairbourne or Barmouth. Not far, but not in my plans for next week.
So I've bought it from Abe Books instead.
Re our post office, according to an announcement on Facebook, it will reopen on 25 July, which will be a big relief to local people. The post office counter in the big Spar supermarket does basic things, but we have been without full post office services for a long time now since the ceiling collapsed and the whole building had to be gutted, made safe and renovated.
