THE NIGHTMARE THAT IS SELLING ON AMAZON

I got back from my film trip to Bath and Swindon. Bath I must comment was like Manchester back in February/ early March , the whole community seemed to be on another planet with no precautions other than shops I assume. There were all sorts of groups of people, nobody wears masks except for Chinese students. I felt as if this town thought itself untouchable. With reduced numbers as usual the dross is more obvious. Rude building workers, rude woman at train station, car park only takes coins, what a dump it is. I hope the tourists are sensible and never return. Swindon was fine, it is a pleasant dump and knows it! Bath did have some bus interest with student services and hirings in. They have put temporary bus stops where I normally stand to film but it worked out ok. It is always interesting to see what daft social distancing stuff the council have wasted money on.

The Cheshire East council gave Mandy a copy and paste response to the incident where the traffic warden said he didn't agree with the temporary disabled parking and wasn't going to stick tickets on the posh cars which now park with immunity. We suffer terribly torn between two pathetic councils either side of us.

I got a really rude and snotty message from Amazon saying my account had discrepancies and threatened all sorts of things, hold my money, stop us selling. This went on for ages last night after I got home all the way from Bath. It carried on this morning, this bullying should not happen but they have a bad reputation and seem able to get away with all that the do and all the tax they don't pay, beyond the law yet have ruined many businesses in countless communities in Britain.

By this morning i was ready to pull the plug on Amazon, some of the customers are no better. I emailed the CEO in USA Seattle, obviously he doesn't get them but has a team to sort and if stuff gets to that level something is obviously in need of sorting. Within 10 minutes of sending I got an apology and there is nothing wrong, why put small businesses through hell. I am sill considering waling away from it altogether, it is only Christmas when we get a lot of women customers and many are incredibly rude. We just don't need the hassle. The orders are still coming in droves and the disc supplier is out of stock so that is next big thing to sort.
