Having been on a bit of a tour of UK it's now arrived in Tamworth where it has a "Destination Scan".
Has Griff hijacked it?
(like I've hijacked this thread)
..... though I have just noticed .......
... so it arrived in Tamworth not long after midnight but it's scheduled to be delivered until tomorrow by the end of business .... has somebody set out on foot with it for its final 25 miles?

It's Here !
Based on the notification of delivery tomorrow I almost decided that it would be OK to travel to work on my bike today. Glad I didn't !
.... so back to Dale's original post ..... has your parcel arrived yet or did mine get here from China before you got yours?

He had it on Thurs @ 5.57 according to the tracking info.

if this is an uber dell laptop - and one does wonder if such a thing exists, one must assume that Noah earns far too much to get a hefty tax rebate....
and as you had it delivered to work, we assume the family may not know about it.....
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...

Of course the family know about it - and the tax rebate apparently covers 3 or 4 years of over payment.
Delivery to work is because I don't really want them to leave it all day on the doorstep or to take it away because I wasn't in.

If you can afford one of them, then you must have had a truly amazing tax rebate.
Maybe when people were calling you a banker I'd not actually misheard them ......

I always assumed people bought laptops to use them, not sell them on...
