Stone,
Okay, so I had to check this wasn't an April Fools joke its called Amazon dash-button. It's A little fob like device that basically you press a button and the signal goes to your phone via bluebooth or WiFi, and then your phone places an order via the Amazon app.

It's only available in the US at the moment for Prime members. I use subscribe and save here in the UK for coffee, deodorant, personal products washing powder ect...

I would use one if it became available in the UK what do you think?

I could see it being handy as I said in OP I use Amazon allot. Say it was in the cupboard where the coffee is kept or with the laundry products it would work. running low press button. no need to think about ordering later or when less busy. I want it now.

You don't I guess, but that's the price you pay for convenience isn't it! On low cost items like this, how much extra would you really be paying even if it was a 50% markup? A few pounds a month? Worth it if you're the sort of person who finds yourself in the lurch like that and doesn't have the time or inclination to stop at the shops.

Exactly, although for me its less about being in the lurch more not having to mingle with cretins the only thing I don't buy online is Fuel.

Why do buy a lot of safety glasses? are you buying them for your work or for yourself?

Safety glasses/goggles are not made equal as such different tasks require suitable and different levels of protection. They are for work was just topping up the PPE
