The driver (possibly every driver) will have carded EVERYONE today because the weather was too bad to make it worth going out.
An old trick for making sure they don't miss service level targets.
There will be a queue outside the CityLink office all the way to Gloucester.Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

Couriers like these (especially the ones with remote depots) make Royal Mail look like a shining temple of excellence.
Sooo many companies do this now, even the online versions of the big high street chains. And all for what must be a minor cost saving... Royal Mail's special delivery doesn't exactly break the bank.
Why don't mail order companies give a choice at checkout - cheap crappy courier service for £5 or RM Special delivery for £7 or whatever.It's about time I changed this sig...Comment

I phoned City-link, who told me the driver wasn't answering his phone, but they did send him a text message. So you never know. The problem now is I'm going to have to stay in until at least 5:30 to be sure.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

City link did something similar to me (with my router from eBuyer). I phoned and asked them if they could try again on Saturday which they agreed to do. They then promptly ignored this and tried to deliver the following day (a Tuesday) instead. They had omitted to tell me that saturday costs about another 15 quid. In consequence I have given up on e-buyer.
When I needed a hard drive I specifically checked with the supplier who said they didn't use city link - ideal as there's a Royal Mail depot near me. They then sent the drive by city link. Their depot is miles away and is even less friendly and more filthy than most.
I will continue to boycott any supplier that uses inferior couriers.Comment
