    Lol same at our house. We've also asked her what she wants to be. Only a few responses but one of them is quite clever......

    Don't you believe it. Some people will wink to anything these days. They'll just look like a cross between Popeye and Jeremy Beadle, with one forearm significantly larger than the other.

    Mark my words it won't be long before we're all peering through the kitchen cupboards saying : "Alexa, Add heniz baked beans, six pack of Andrex Kitchen Roll and half a pound of sausages to my shopping basket".


    I like Alexa. Mainly because I have 3 teenage daughters and Alexa is the only thing in the house that will listen to me, then do as I ask without arguing.

    That's so last year!

    Assuming it's on a device, how does Alexa know which device to show them on?
