That's because the consumer would have had a real choice back in 1980...

My experience differs.

The variety of choice in Colesworth now leaves the supermarket of 40 years ago in the dust. Out-of-season fruit and vegetables, international products, delicatessen items beyond devon/fritz/polony/luncheon, and ultra-processed foods.

It's this last choice that has had the greatest negative impact on the consumer, far greater than inflation or globalisation of supply chains.

Some choices shouldn't exist.

I couldn't copy this, so I settled for a screenshot

Well if STEREO.NET every gave out a "Not Reacting Well" badge, this guy would be sure to get it. 🙂

That's OK. Most Spanish speakers couldn't understand him either. He's got a funny accent (from Puerto Rico?) which makes him difficult to understand even if you speak the lingo.

I Felt like playing a bit of YES, but think there might be something wrong with my turntable.☹️

And Elvis is sounding strange as well. 🤔
