If that site (whose name I forget now) carries on like that in high volume, which I suspect they do\u2026 then they\u2019re making lots of money out of chumps like me, whilst supplying nothing in return (except frustration disappointment and anger!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those items (see these posts) were, I later discovered, probably just photos of more expensive clothing blithely nicked off some other legit site, and then re-used to tempt schmucks like me into spur of the moment or impulse purchases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And FB doesn\u2019t effectively police such underhand dealings. Indeed, I expect the whole FB edifice is mostly built on scamming and exploitation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most users naively see FB and use it thinking of it as a fun friendly furry entity. But it is the giant behemoth it is because it has been a very effective selling platform or tool. And for the money folk, the bottom line is the, er\u2026 bottom line!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shirt pictured at the top of this post perfectly captures a style I went with for my covers band, Capricorn. We played jazz funk soul and Latin, and our \u2018colour scheme\u2019 was essentially just like this shirt!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"725\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sebpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/img_9350-725x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9482\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.sebpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/img_9350-725x1024.jpg 725w, http:\/\/www.sebpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/img_9350-212x300.jpg 212w, http:\/\/www.sebpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/img_9350.jpg 741w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 725px) 100vw, 725px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A review from Truspilot.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019d love a shirt like that.
