DPD sends a 1-hour delivery window. Sitting at home waiting, I suddenly get a “Sorry I missed you” email (no nock on the door or note - just the email saying come and collect your parcel tomorrow from a shop 20 minute drive from you).
Phone call to DPD, they check and confirm: the driver never bothered to even come near me.

Cuprajake My waistline is still inflating, Mars bars or no Mars bars…
CoyoteOldMan Thats a great thing, it means it’s not the mars bars, so you can keep eating them.
So I need some new hockey skates, been speaking to the local shop, and he confirms he has a size 8 in for me to try,
So tonight I set off, get there
Shops shut, the guy who runs it for the owner is playing hockey on the pad, I have to wait till he comes off for a drink, explain what I came for, “ light switch is on the wall” so I go in the shop, the size 8 is actually a size 7!, So go back to the pad, ask the guy again. “oh boxes on the shelf, should be there”
Yeah it’s not.
Txt the owner, oh yeah think I did sell the 8 sorry

So when I did the back garden, I ordered one piece short.
Here’s the pic showing how much it’s faded in 3 months.

Hope the plastic/fibre/wood is a bit more durable than whatever they used to colour it…
By next year I have a feeling it will be white.

When I replaced my rainwater goods the fittings, ends, angles etc came with a warning they would fade and they have though the guttering hasn’t, if I ever replace them again it will be with black or white. Today’s grr is I put my shot down on the edge of the worktop saver and over it went, never imagined 36ml would cause so much mess.
Going all the way from Gloucester to London to visit the Spanish Consulate for a Visa appointment, only to get there and find they’ve lost it and won’t see you and the place is full of Spanish bureaucrats who are real jobsworths and can/will nothing to help you. I have to rebook and go again. Grrr.
-Mac Seems that the government employee attitude is similar all over the world, I wonder why that is?

A near-perfect incident
When you make 3:30 hours round trip on a Sunday morning to check and take a delivery of 2016 Major Automatic for nothing! Looked perfect every way including a few videos of it running. The grinder looked spotless, it comes alive without beans on the hopper. The seller throws a full bag of beans. Grinds at the highest setting, switches off to go finer at the espresso setting and it won’t run anymore. They empty the hopper, open the burrs, give it a clean, run again and nothing! It won’t even run in at the coarsest setting! A few more tries were in vain! The seller was equally disappointed, surprised and didn’t want to sell until it is fixed.
A waste of Sunday, the time and money for fuel, but saved £350 cash.
