Underground paedophile rings? That's another one I haven't heard about, but a google search revealed that they used to be sold at Ratners. Who on earth would wear one? No wonder the company went tits up.Quote:

Interesting, is that a Preston thing or is it widely available?Quote:

I don't know how to fix it and have no interest in learning. I'll just shop around for a secondhand DAB radio and Alexa can sod off.Quote:

Well we're paying Alexa (through Amazon Prime) and it certainly isn't entertaining me right now. Currently playing Crime of The Century on vinyl, and not once has my trusty deck told me it can't play it (although Mrs. P wishes it would) :)
On the subject of 'spy in the home', you may think you're safe by not having Alexa, but your 'Smart' TV knows your viewing habits. And combined with all the posts you put on here with certain keywords (royal, baby sussex, etc), you'll only have yourself to blame when the Royal Baby/Royal Wedding commemorative crap starts landing on your doorstep, so don't be thinking it's mischief on my part :D
Pay you??? We'll tie you down and whip you ....:whippin:Quote:
