well Greg - the answer is no - we haven't = so therefore they are not loud enough :)
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

With the current cold weather we should be able to hang 4 sets of leathers up...

Mmmm - last entry in the tracker says it was picked up on the 12th and in on route to the depot.
...perhaps the driver got lost finding his way home

Did you send it Next Day delivery? If so, you might wanna complain cos they STILL aint here!!!!!
Oh the anxiety of it all!....

I'm lucky that work understands enough to give me the extra day off (unpaid unfortunately)

You're taking days off and loosing money on the promise of a courier - are you mad.
Shipped enough stuff over the years to realise courier promises not worth the pixels on your screen.
Personally I would wait for the card through your letterbox and then go pick it up in person instead of loosing money

Hi all,
Bet the delivery driver is a biker and has diverted the package to his garage

Seriously FM, I use to wait in, but, just wait till card drops through the door, then fly to depot mate
Not the busy season yet, is it?
P.S. I use to go out with two sisters DR and Alad

One at a time unfortunately, just after each other. Was a devil in my youth

We're you ever brave enough, or drunk enough to say

With names like that It'd more than coincidence if they were particularly ugly sisters. Mind you beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Don't put off 'till tomorrow what you can enjoy today

Well, after hanging around on the phone for half an hour while the guy at City Link tried to find out where my Rene's are, I'm now told they appear to be 'missing' in the system!!!!
He has been in touch with the Durham Depot who have told him that the item cannot be found as it was never scanned-in when they
supposedly received it on Monday afternoon!
Sounds like an argument (if ever one was needed) for NOT privatising the Royal Mail and Parcel Force if this is how second rate couriers do things!
I've now been told that Customer Services should contact me either later today or tomorrow to explain what's going on and where exactly my new cans have gone!
Time to ring work AGAIN to beg for tomorrow off (guess I'll be 'volunteering' for unpaid overtime to make up for this later).
I am soooooo f**ked off right now.

I would step back, work the day, come home to a letter on the doormat to go collect them.
Fretting achieves nothing and lost parcels dont turn up at the ring of a telephone.. usually takes a shift change or two to find the backlogged parcel or the misplaced one..
Hard to do but relax and chill. Speaking as a Logistics manager, i know computers lie as we tend to get monkeys not experts thru the doors and people fail to upload from PDTs, put parcels in wrong places and generally fuck everything up unless youre watching them.. Trust me my supply chain is as equally shite as the civvi variant.
