Do you buy bottled water? Are you a person that thinks that the freshness and the natural water filtering way through the landscape gives you a better quality of water than even tap water? Do you pay a lot or so no and stick to tap water? Do you believe that those who pay for bottled water are paying for stuff that comes out of the tap and is just as good as tap water? Do you think that bottling water is just environmentally wasteful as it adds more plastic bottles, petrol to transport it all and you can get tap water which you probably pay for anyway? Have I got your attention? Well, tell me what you think about this subject?

filter water from the tap is just as good as any bottled water

How many of you remember his phrase about pictures (photographs). But have you noticed in the last 10 years or so, no one says it any more. If you have at all or even if you haven’t, can you guess why? I thought about it and watched all the glossy magazines and how they touch up and airbrush the pictures of models on the cover of their magazines, because nobody looks that perfect in reality, not without make-up, surgery or something else. But the reason most likely that this phrase is not used any more is because this professional tool used by industries like fashion, printing, television, etc. can now be sound in anyone’s home in the guise of a good photo editor, from PsP to Corel Draw to many more applications out there. And if you have ever morphed things or made funny pictures, you will know exactly how, and if you have ever watched the news where a company or even council/government figure (in one case) air brushed things in, which caused a scandal and even mild outrage, then yes pictures now indeed - can LIE! What do you think?

I contacted Toluna because my voucher ordered 25th of April hadn't turned up and others who ordered around the same time had received theirs. Here is the response I got from toluna - cut from their emaiil

"We have now sent all Amazon vouchers up to the 25th of April. As
>your was ordered on the 29th, I can assure you it will be sent with
>the next batch. We would like to apologize for any inconvenience
>caused and thank you for your patience.
>
>I hope you are still enjoying your time on the site and that you
>receive your voucher soon."

So that means that it is going to be around 6-8 weeks for me to receive a voucher and the same for anyone else who ordered their voucher after the 25th of April - is this acceptable?

Personally I think its disgusting and another insult to injury, so when they tell you to allow 3-4 weeks please translate this to 6-8 weeks!

What do you think?
