Does anyone else go looking on amazon because they used to have loads of stuff, but now there’s just a few things over and over and over and they’re not quite what you wanted. It’s so full of promoted content and you keep thinking that somewhere on one of the pages there might be something new, but no, it’s these same products again and again.

    Thanks for explaining what they might have meant as I was a little confused.

    It depends on the product, but here is such a site for computer hardware Scan

      Oh wow, is that the same scan from years ago? Back in the day they had a good reputation for being decently priced with decent customer service. For some reason I thought they folded.

        Yes I believe it is. They had a couple shops here in Manchester. Now they have a large place in Horwich near the Bolton Wanderers stadium.

        It’s my goto for all my computer supplies. Customers service is still great.

            It’s called The Toughsheet Community Stadium these days. 🤮.

            But yeah it’s a great store and it’s fun to wander around looking at everything.

              What’s the Toughsheet Community? Is it a local buyout or something?

              You are actually tempting me to have a train trip up there or something! I think I should resist, though!

                Yes, it appears to be a local business. Makes me wonder how inexpensive it might be to get a stadium named after you or how large this company is.

                Depending how far you would be taking the train it could be fun. I would stress though it’s not huge, but they have some cool pc builds you can see, obviously all products you can buy and then a few custom rigs like for F1 Sims where it has the seat and wheel you can try.
