It pisses me off that Dabs now uses them - best way to piss off your customers is changing the delivery company that worked pretty well (Parcel Force).

Quite. I just had some tulipy "Home Delivery Network" try to deliver my stuff so quietly that I did not hear them knocking

We keep getting cards left saying that they were unable to deliver (not sure of the carrier), for addresses further down the street.

I've caught them trying to escape when I heard the card drop in but no ring or knock before that. Not to mention parcel returned "address does not exist".

There's always Royal Mail. The one thing that still works in this country.

That's in hand. Privatise the profits, nationalise the losses.

The time of not much worth buying from has been reached some years ago, thanks to Govts destroying British industry - now it's almost the time of "not worth selling to" due to plunging currency.

Yes, we have. Property with high and rising value (just like in Japan), and financial products that the world has confidence in. That's the rock-solid basis of our economy.

And we have the best football.

And - Buckingham Palace.

And - Maypole Dancers

You can jolly well eat your hearts out all ye BratwurstMüuchers

This is an example of German humour. It often makes a whooshing noise as it goes over little Englanders heads.

The fall in Sterling is because we have nothing worth buying.

Indirectly I suppose yes.

1. Have you just been benched? If No, go to 2. If Yes, go to 3.

2. Boomed! Go to 6.

3. Are you a Tory? If No, go to 4. If Yes, go to 5.

4. Worldwide economic downturn. Go to 6.

5. It was Gordon's fault! Go to 6.

6. Stop it, it's too silly.

Look on the bright side: Sterling fall is a life-saver for UK economy

The sharp slide in the pound has been a godsend for the UK economy and may have helped Britain avert a much more serious crisis, according to the German bank Dresdner Kleinwort.

[minestrone]

You were benched by somebody called Gordon?

Indirectly I suppose yes.
