Delivery’s How Late?

The courier service shall remain nameless, but it managed to mix up two shipments coming from Red's mum and/or the company she works for.

One was supposed to come to us and contained Italian goodies as a little Christmas present.

The other was a table going to France.

So when our delivery arrived and it was long and flat and almost immovable, we figured something was amiss.

This was Wednesday morning. Several frantic phone calls and about 25 minutes later, things got cleared up. But still we wait...

Trouble is, y'see, the intended recipient of the table took delivery of our package (or, rather, one of his employees did, not realizing).

As I say, I would not want to name names. I'm Done Hating Losers, y'know.

It won't be any consolation but the Post Office has been taking 8 days to deliver my mail. I live in the country but I am only 15 miles from Scotland's capital. The postman has taking to tearing off the "recorded delivery" stickers so that I cannot cause a fuss. Of course I can't prove it.

I am slowly coming to the conclusion that in less than 100 years we will be a third world nation.

G-Hobbs: You, too, old chap. Cheers!

Lee: It's not a bad resolution, is it. Feel free to use it as a commandment in your religion.

Candy: I will keep you posted. That motherfucker better have kept his greedy mitts to himself!

WW: Loving the ingenuity of the postie, removing the labels. Geeeeenius! Eight days is outrageous, though.

Olives: Spirit of the season? Nah, not so much!

Martha: How'd you guess the courier?! No, I've never used them either. they're so bloody expensive, for one thing! And then they go and fuck up. I tend to use the Royal Mail for most things. All hope is not lost though, so I'll let you know if and when they arrive!

I’d hold on to the table until the treats arrive.

Snowc: Hopefully not...

APP: Unfortunately the table was clearly not ours so we sent it back, but we wouldn't have had room for it anyway!
