    Amazon Air trade

    Amazon are proposing using drones to deliver packages up to 5 kilos direct to the customer's door, once regulations allow, which they anticipate will be in about 1 years time in 2015. I wonder if Board members, eagerly anticipating their bargains, will be happy to have the skies filled with mini-aircraft buzzing about?

      If you live in a flat, will they fly in through the window?

      What if your cat thinks it is a bird and eats it?

      Will people nick the hubcaps (or whatever) off them?

      Will they give you a cheery " Good Morning" or scribble a note to say they have left it in the shed behind. the pile of old copies of the Daily Mirror?
      I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

      I am not a number, I am a free man.

        Will it be cheaper that using my local Coop's Amazon pick-up point locker five minutes away?
        It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

          It would be better than having drones doing the same and delivering nothing but nuisance value...

              will they run out of fuel by the time they get to Cornwall?

              I know, they could redesign so that the cardboard wrapper gets used as fuel for the return journey !!
              Wasted I am.
              No, not in that way !!
