@marcustward ah man. I’m really sorry to hear that. I hope things are getting better for you now.
@marcustward I’m good - how are you fella?
@ajpbradley yes, both of those.

@AlexGrantUK average house price is £260k. A pack of three kitchen rolls is £7.

EVERYTHING is pricey these days…

@iamgerardthomas someone clearly forgot to program in Asimov’s Laws…
@Meilyr @ajpbradley yeah the CX-3 has gone - she’s got a Peugeot 2008 now.
@Mark @ajpbradley yeah, it was ever going to be thus.
Sat in the Peugeot dealership as I wait for Mrs J’s car to be serviced. Thought I’d finally dive into this tome, as recommended by @ajpbradley - so far, so intriguing…
@serichards I may well have done this. Also when you’re in someone’s house that has such a device, asking it to set an alarm for 3am can be most amusing.

And this is PRECISELY why any kind of “smart speaker” is not allowed in our house and we always turns off the digital assistants on our devices.
