Probably Contact Us on https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html but that's as far as I get as everything behind requires a log in. ID: 108986 · Reply Quote

You've earned the title as you know more of the logistics industry than I who spent 45 years in the industry. More than happy to kowtow to the better man. BTW Are you aware of a device that fits in one;s hand called a mobile phone? Are you also aware that ALL security doors have a "trade" button?

A PM that looses so many ministers in one go really should get out of the door in a controlled manner before someone chucks them out without opening it first. Could be worse.

That's our government. ID: 108997 · Reply Quote

A lot of people would pay good money to see him thrown out of the door without opening it first! Edit: A group of ministers including the chief whip are about to meet with the PM telling him to resign. ID: 108998 · Reply Quote
