    replied to Royal Mail, beyond a joke now
    I was told the 48hr service (trademarked btw) now means it should arrive in 2-4 days. Nice of them to relax the delivery deadline yet keep the name. Absolute feckers (I'm talking upper mgmt not posties and all the on-the-ground staff).

    Clearly RM needs to sit down and think hard how to...

    Royal Mail, beyond a joke now

    Curious if it's just local or country wide, 90% of stuff I ordered in the last two weeks is sitting at the local Gatwick MC, no deliveries from the local sorting office, I have to go there myself 8-10 each they and check if there's any post.

    Can anyone explain why Teslas remain so popular. I mean apart from a social status badge, they are ugly af, the font used for the model name couldn't be more Chineasium looking and it's got a massive touch screen which is a major pita in a car, also recently there's been loads of reports of brand new...

    I work in a different industry / ies (O&G / Defence / green energy automation) but see the same tulipe day in, day out, mediocrity, incompetence, lack of knowledge.
