I always enjoy the rich analysis and context in these excellent reports from and team. Go beyond the headline numbers to understand *why* behaviours are evolving in the ways they are across the Middle East in this latest update.

Is there any “truth” that is absolute - i.e. universally accepted, unchanging, and without any exception to the rule?

Hello again , can you help me understand why you keep degrading the shopping lists experience in this way? There is no logic to these changes, and they don’t benefit Amazon or the user. The shopping experience was vastly superior the way it was *before you changed it*.

Hey @AmazonUK, please can you stop removing third-party price previews from wish lists? Making me click through to view each item in my list isn’t going to make me more likely to buy something, and the increased hassle is more likely going to stop me checking my lists altogether.

Just because you found a different source quoting a different number for what *seems* like the same metric doesn't mean either of us is "right" or "wrong". Things change with time, and different metric definitions can result in different values. Keep an open mind.

Finding the truth has never been easier thanks to the internet, but knowing that we need to look for it is a whole different issue.

Is there a logical reason why doesn't round time values when using time formatting? For example, if you show 01:59:59 as "hh", it just shows "01", even though it should surely display "02". Note this isn't a rounding *formula*; it's simply #Excel's standard time format.

Love how spammers have gone from "greetings of the day!" to "compliments of the season!" So. much. creativity.
