Thats one of the biggest understatments of the century ...
Good old Royal Mail are playing rack-em and stack-em with my parcels again...
Ordered 7 items from ebay over the last two weeks (just little stuff like CF cards, cables & shiz)
None of it's arrived yet, expect it all to come at the weekend with a bunch of red rubber bands round it.
Not good enough really... First class post should be delivered next day or two, not held onto till its more convenient for the post man...

My little post delivery lady is such a star - I think I'm in love with her - she goes beyond the call of duty to make sure I get my post.
Always leaves me a note to say where she has hidden it this time, i.e. in the shed through the cat flap, in the recycle bin, or with the neighbours

He he, mine does this too at home.
I talk to him when ever I see him, plus he takes his kids to the same school I take mine to.
Nice guy,

Royal Mail are now starting to teach their employees to suck eggs (metaphorically speaking). Their new "World Class Mail" scheme is in full flow and we have all had to sit through presentations about it and how it will effect us.
And what may you ask is it all about? Health and Safely, that is all, nothing mysterious or revolutionary. I have to admit I've been moaning about the state people leave equipment in after their shifts, with no respect or consideration for the next to use it, and I suppose for that reason anything that forces the lazy ones to tidy up and make sure everything is clean and in the correct place at the end of their shift can only be a good thing. But, this "World Class Mail" is costing Royal Mail millions in training, development and rollout. But I suppose when you employee such a large workforce, where the majority of them lack even basic common sense it takes a lot to make them agree to change what they do.
Oh well... not long now until we become Royal TNTParcelPostDHLUPS Mail, or maybe even Polish Post or China Mail. The last is probably the one that would least surprise me. Probably buy up the business, dismantle the distribution centres, rebuild them in China, then have all our mail shipped over there for sorting. Some people would probably still get their parcels quicker!
(Although maybe a copy and not the original contents of their parcels!

Dwell on this dear reader ...
Blanky orders a new printer, some blank DVD's, USB A to B cable and some new case fan's.
With me so far? Good ...
Now, understandably they all won't go in the same box so the company (in this case Ebuyer) puts the goods into 2 boxes, labels them as such and asks Parcel Farce to collect both.
Wednesday 6th April, a nice man in a red van roll's up to Ebuyer and collects BOTH packages destined for me - Parcels are both marked Express 24
Thursday 7th April, another nice man in a red van rings my doorbell with a box - yes, ONE box.
Hmm thinks Blanky, something ain't right here and tracks the order ...
Box 2 is STILL in Milton Keynes sorting depot as of 23:06 07/04/2011 having just being reportedly loaded onto the delivery van some minutes earlier
No wonder this country's post is in such a shambles! They can't even deliver 2 boxes, both collected at the same time on the same day, passed through the national sorting hub within minutes of each other and finally onto the MK depot for delivery the next day TOGETHER!
P*ss poor performance and utter shambles Parcel Farce - Blanky scores you 3/10 with your moniker truly earned!
All credit to Ebuyer, they've not only waived the delivery costs but also upgraded my next order to Next Day delivery for the hassle with a special promotional code.

At least it was close enough for you to have toddled off and fetched it
I would have sent the missus but she said she had a headache and lounged around in the sun all day.

I love the new TV advert with the couple in bed and the bloke rattles the headache pills when she says 'No'

I tried that but then the wifey told me that I'd need them more and then she smacked me over the head with a cleverly concealed frying pan
