I find that the mindset of the Chinese sellers is to advertise a product which lives up to its claims but only in the short term. It is not designed to last. # My first example a spotlight, an LED, which flashes or beams to order. The problem is that the chargeable battery torch is so small that it only lasts about 15 minutes so if you want to go on a ramble at night you'd be well advised not to...
I am sick of seeing interviewees on television scarcely being allowed to finish a sentence before the person who is doing the interview interrupts them and in many cases contradicts them.

The last time I attended a funeral of any sort was the best part of 10 years so I had even forgotten the niceties of the protocol.
