I could be missing something but as far as I can see, it's purely because it's easier on a Mac.

with the latest iOS 'upgrade' they have now (seemingly spitefully) killed the ability to download and save image attachments from an email, which up until now has been the most convenient and hassle free workaround.

I haven't upgraded yet, but I believe if you press and hold the icon for the attached file in the email, the save options appear.

As I understand it Beer companies do make the odd advert aimed at men, and barbers have their stripey poles. Boots, OTOH sees its core market as primarily made up of ladies and at Christmas men who buy stuff for ladies. TV adverts lead me understand that women are in constant pain, suffering from constipation, sorry 'slow digestive transit', bloating, noxious odours, unsightly growths of hair which are at best dull and lifeless, moisture oozing from any number of orifices,  and at least 9 signs of ageing from the age of 12.  You can see why a chemist might want their business. Leave 'em to it, I say: still working through that first bottle of Old Spice from 1985.

Advertisers target their customers. According to market research, the typical Boots customer is a middle aged, sensitive person who enjoys knitting, cooking and food shopping. Guess which gender 80% of them are?

Interesting. Does this mean the nation's youth all get their mums to buy their johnnies nowadays? How progressive.

London's LGBTQ+ community is riddled with xenophobia and racism. Some of the most jaw dropping cases of hypocrisy I've ever bore witness to.

When we say 'London Pride" are we talking the mediocre real ale by Fuller or the annual rainbow parade?

Self-scan, innit? And hope there isn't a problem with the barcode, or the attendant has to come over and eyeball the contents of your bag for life*.

Nobody searched for 2000ad? We're right wing millennials, who watch the news, quote Monty Python and drive Citroens.

Judge Dredd fans, by contrast, are beardless middle aged architects with bad breath, who buy their Armani suits at Primark and spend a lot of time on the internet. Megazine readers are easy going gamers.


* That's not a euphemism for a condom, although - thinking about it - it should be.
