Playing down to the standard of the viewer IMO

Someone actually just said out loud, "so we need to work out what the see-zero-two will be".

I made my excuses and left. 

Im away for a walk outside to get some zeroygen.

I'd probably pay a couple of quid for it but not £11.99. I don't even pay that much for my Netflix monthly subscription so it seems dear.

Agreed. I would probably get value out it. At least some. But I'm afraid it's a nose off to spite face scenario. 

c***s have spotted the popularity of Netflix and just decided that everything should be a monthly subscription. They all want a piece now and its like they cant see the market is flooded. There's already far too many and I'm now at the won't do it on principle stage. 

 

I've no issue paying for something if I think it's value for money. £11.99 is for me. YouTube is probably the app that gets used most in our house tbh, if not Netflix, which I pay about the same for. 

I do have IPTV though as I don't think Sky is value for money and wouldn't pay them a penny so have no issue going down the 'dodgy' route if need be.

I’ve not gone down the route yet. I’m not a big user of YT.

Apparently you can no longer use Visa to pay for YT in Argentina. YT India is supposed to be cheaper.

Imagine getting put out of your house to let a paedophile live there, this would normally be the other way round.

"Frogmore Cottage, a Grade-II listed 10-bedroom property in the grounds of Windsor Castle in Berkshire, was a gift to the royal couple from the late Queen."

They truly are in touch with the common populace.........

If that was in the last 7 years it should be added to the estate for inheritance tax purposes.

Monarchs are exempt from inheritance tax.  Frogmore wasn't gifted to the couple, it was leased and now belongs to King Charlie.

In advertising, companies assuming that best-selling means its the country's 'favourite'.

Proper Japanese (ie. not the Yo! stuff) is probably my favourite cuisine.  However, because I have McDonald's more often because of the price and availability involved, it doesn't mean that it's my favourite of the two.

See also "best selling in country x" automatically means "its fucking great".  e.g. that coffee shampoo stuff (#ripshampoouseage) thats "Germany's best selling" or some hand cream that is "No 1 in the US".

Who gives a f**k. Is it any good?

Depends on the place and item too, I mean an endorsement of “Vatican City’s #1 Porno Mag” is somewhat different than “Australia’s Favorite Yeast Paste”.
