Does your phone camera work enough if you turn it to selfie mode?
 
A cautionary tale.
Somebody at work had a magnifying make up mirror on the windowsill and one morning could detect burning smell but then it disappeared, but sure enough the next day the same thing, and the next until it was very strong when I was asked to have a look and spotted a hole had been burnt in the side of a bankers box on top on the book shelves where the sun had been directed onto that very spot by the mirror.
She never lived it down being one of the most unlikely people to wear make up.

The Walkie Talkie building in London needed remedial work as it was melting cars. No one factored in the effect a huge concave mirrored building may have. They had to put special shades all over it...

fed the link into e-bay and tried the words acrylic safety mirror and bingo it came up with a shatterproof travel mirror for a couple of pounds

More and more people I know are in the same boat with Amazon.
They used to be great but are now mainly a warehouse full of Chinese imports packed by overworked, underpaid staff and (if you are lucky) delivered by overworked underpaid drivers. It’s not surprising when deliveries go missing or are not packed.
And let’s not forget how challenging it is to unsubscribe from Amazon Prime if you accidentally press the most obvious button when you checkout.

All I buy from them now are Kindle books which I pay for with vouchers I get from TopCashBack.
I know there are “other ways” to get the books but this way, it cost me nothing but the authors still get paid.

Ooops, sorry. You found another of my soapboxes 😳

Yes I have an issue with Amazon, I buy rolls of copper foil tape which I use for my stained glass work and this particular one I have had before and there were 2 rolls in the pack and the price per metre was based on 2 rolls but a recent order there was only 1 roll in the pack despite the description saying 2 rolls. We have made several efforts to complain with little success so far. But I shall certainly persist as the price is only good if there are actually 2 rolls.
