Welcome to week 38 of the V-Spot, the home of the nearly news. This week is a special report from the biggest story of the week. The UAW have been threatening strikes for some time, and we said we would be here to break the story. Much like that delayed, until we won't talk about it, we will instead enjoy the delight of Greek towns, noise and all, to report the news. Story 1: Amazon turned 25 in the UK this week and has offered lucky Prime members 5% off orders over £25. In the same breath, they've pushed the free delivery threshold to £30. A classic move, Amazon. Bravo. Story 2: Soft surroundings and hard landing. Soft surroundings fought for bankruptcy this week. Story 3: Not long after removing Flexport from his LinkedIn profile, an enraged Dave Clarke went to a local kids football game, picked up the football, declared the game over, and said, "I'm going home, it's my ball." More to come on this. That's both week 38 in a nutshell, and if you're allergic to nuts, that's just too bad. Stop by next week where we'll be broadcasting live from Dublin.
