New Year, Same Internet Problems

I know I've posted about this before and bore many of you who know me, but I'm doing it again, the first grump of the year.

I'm becoming more and more convenced that the internet is getting worse and worse, less and less responsive to what you search for, no matter how the search is worded or what search engine you use, it just seems determined to give you what it wants and not what I've asked for. I beginging to doubt my sanity in believing that there will a different outcome to depression and frustration thats usually the result of looking for anything I want.

I wish we still had shop where you could go and look, try things on, feel things get some idea of what it is you might be buying. I saw a couple of weeks ago that more shops are starting to open physical stores again, I hope so, but then I suppose I'd still have to travel for miles, find something I like and ask if they have it in my size only to be told no and that I can get it online. At least in a physical shop a can go to the dept I want without being asked if I want something totally different a dozen times before I find one thing I might consider buying that matches what I want.

  • I am finding more and more that there are things I need that it is difficult to get the right thing from a page on a screen.  Things don't always look the same when you get them. There are some things I need to ask someone what is best. 

    Trousers online don't always have the right fitting. The thing that is really difficult is shoes as I have wide big feet. They are best tried on.
