It was crap.
Just wait until you arrive at your office one Saturday in the near future, and you have more than one lot of "day specific" D2D crap, and a 3.00-4.00pm finish time.

Is your DOM banking those 42 seconds?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I almost turned my trolley over in front of a load of kids whilst trying to get it up a kerb that would defeat Sir Edmund Hillary. :oops:
