I entered my name in a drawing for a small JCB. I work in web design and have never driven a JCB, but it is fun to imagine doing so while making "brrm brrm" noises. The wife was unamused and unimpressed. I tell myself she loves me and the JCB won't. But I still covet the JCB.

JCB donate £200k to Reform and suddenly all their councils are giving JCB contracts. Coincidence, surely?

Here’s Farage accepting yet more money....£40k for a speech in USA plus a £8k helicopter ride from JCB …. Maybe JCB has got fed up of ferrying Boris Johnson around ??
We will fight the right every step of the way 👍🏼

JCBでここはひとつ…
イギリスの銀行がVisaとMastercardsの代替を検討という話。10年ぐらい前に同じようなことやってた国があったがアレは概ね自業自得だったし、世界シェアで見れば数％とかなんだかんだ言われても本邦はJCBがあってよかったねと創作周りで言われるから、やっぱり米国一辺倒はリスキーすぎるからそうなるな。

Yup, also I’ll never buy a Dyson again, or a JCB*

In April 2024, Gullis took a £10,000 donation from JCB
Gullis advertising JCB in the HoC in December 2023
"the first local authority to have the Staffordshire technological advancement, the JCB Pothole Pro, which fixes potholes twice as fast and at half the cost of other machinery. It is excellent that we now have one of those revolutionary machines"

This would be a huge contract for JCB.

規制回避のためにJCB使おう！みたいな流れあるけど、既にVISAが使えなくてJCBのみになってるサービスでもFANBOXやらと同様にNGワードがあったり伏せ字で規制されてるのでたぶんそういう単純な問題じゃないんですよね
これらの規制っておそらくブランド側だけじゃなくてアクワイアラとか決済代行会社も絡んでるからね…
でも支払い方法の選択肢増やしとくのはリスク分散として良いと思うのでJCBも使えばいいしなんならクレカ以外の決済方法もバンバン使っていこう！
