Letter: Redundant delivery

Published 12 November 2014

From Jeff Walker

Aviva Rutkin’s article on Google’s same-day delivery service confirms my opinion that we have become a decadent society inhabited largely by self-obsessed idlers (25 October, p 22). In the time it took for her nail polish to arrive she could have gone to a shop and bought some – she writes from Boston – not the back of beyond.
