'as a European'

What are you talking about? I've lived in the UK my entire life and this is completely and utterly incorrect.

I think you'll find that actually the bar will not bend in any way if it's dropped onto the ground with weight on. You won't bend or damage a bar unless it's dropped onto supports on a rack, and if you're doing Crossfit, it's highly likely you're dropping it on the floor, so this isn't an issue.

lol @ the headline.

It is about tech, yo.

Google voice doesn't really exist in the UK.

From a UK b2b point of view, I can see this being real nice.

Is this aimed at guys moving like one or two boxes?

My parents run a removals firm in the UK, British Association of Removers accredited. Are you hoping to displace the removal industry of people moving entire homes?

The actual physical handling of people's goods should never come down to price, a bidding war on moving the personal belongings of your entire personal life is never going to end well. Unlicensed, unregulated cowboys will never handle your belongings as well as someone who has had training, is fully insured and has twenty years of experience.

Moving people is hard work, it's difficult to judge a price based upon what people say, distance to the truck? Amount of packing that needs to be done? These are all things that can add huge amounts of time, and therefore money into moving home and due to the fact you're dealing with people's hard earned personal possessions something that shouldn't be ignored.

She trains at my gym. I might spark up a conversation with her on this while we're on the mats stretching.

Who needs profit?

This is the God damn age of creating value out of nothing! Snapchat is not worth $3 billion, it's been 'valued' at $3 billion but it is intrinsically worthless.
