General Discussion / Re: Unhappy ThreadLast post by jpendle - Today at 08:10:43 PMI got a reply from Kernow saying sorry.
Address labels are created by hand so there's always a possibility of a mistake. The warehouse manager says that the person who created the label has been "spoken to" Now it's just a matter of hurry up and wait, to see if I get the models or, once enough time has elapsed, get replacements shipped or a refund from Kernow. On a lighter note the Cornish gentleman on the phone was able to spell my surname without any 'Echo' Tango' 'Bravo' prompting, not something that the average american can do. It's Pendlebury John P #2

I spoke to the USPS yesterday and they confirmed that the Zip Code was wrong but the street address was correct. I then received a call from our local Post Office manager who said that she'd put a flag on the shipment and that "hopefully" someone would take it off the conveyor and re-address it, but that might not happen cos it's all automated She also explained that the address used had an incorrect zip code, someone at Kernow used my phone number instead of my zip resulting in it all being sent to Estacada Oregon, zip code 97022. I spoke to Kernow this morning and the guy in the shop confirmed that the address was indeed wrong I've emailed their warehouse manager asking for them to explain how this happened and what they'll be doing to stop it happening again. So current odds are evens on I get it eventually Kernow get it back eventually It sits in limbo for ever Regards, John P #3

General Discussion / Re: An Eventful Christmas at T...Last post by Chris in Prague - Today at 06:24:31 AMIn Trevelver Castle, with Christmas fast approaching, Lady Penelope is ensconced in her cosy study, drinking Earl Grey tea, once again contemplating the perplexing matter of Eli and Giles, the pair who are not the couple they could, should be!
Lady Trevelver knows that Giles, a most admirable gentleman in his early thirties, shares an undeniable deep connection with Eli, a vivacious young woman of merely twenty-two summers who she considers like a second daughter. Yet Lady Penelope is also aware, from Sylvia, that a persistent worry gnaws at Giles—the seemingly considerable age difference that separates them and the fear that it is this gap that is preventing Eli from fully committing to him. Lady Penelope is aware that Giles, despite understanding that age is just a number, cannot ignore the potential implications of their age difference. He wonders if the disparity in their life experiences and maturity levels could create a rift between them. He contemplates whether his present energy will be enough to keep pace with her youthful zest and passion for life in the future. Moreover, she knows that Giles is keenly conscious of society's opinion of significant age differences. He fears that their friendship could be misinterpreted or harshly judged. He is concerned for Eli, apprehensive about the undue scrutiny or criticism she might face due to their age gap. Despite his fears, Giles cherishes his friendship with Eli. He values highly their connection, their conversations, and the comfort they find in each other's presence. However, the concern lingers, casting a shadow over his thoughts. It is a delicate balance, one that he treads with care and consideration, always prioritising the best interests of both himself and Eli. In the quiet solitude of her study, Lady Penelope continues to muse over the bond between Giles and Eli. She sees a potential for something more, something deeper. She believes they are made for each other, two halves of a whole. Lady Trevelver sees in Eli a young woman who craves the protective presence of an older man, someone who truly understands and appreciates her for who she is, not just her looks. She sees in Giles a caring, experienced man who is captivated by Eli's youthful vivacity, her independence, and her fierce creativity but also senses her inner vulnerability and pain. Yin and Yang. Lady Penelope appreciates how Giles, with his strength and wisdom, could provide the reassuring stability that Eli yearns for in her personal life. She understands, too, how Eli, with her youthful energy and creative spirit, could bring excitement and freshness to Giles' life. She sees Eli and Giles as a perfect balance, a harmony of youth and experience, of vivacity and steadiness. In her heart, she believes that they could find in each other the companionship and understanding that they both seek. Yet, she also understands Giles' concerns about their age difference. She empathises with his worries about societal perceptions and the potential pressure on Eli. But she holds onto hope, believing in the strength of their bond and the depth of their friendship. She sighs and focuses her thoughts ever deeper. #8
General Discussion / Re: An Eventful Christmas at T...Last post by Chris in Prague - Today at 06:15:36 AMSeated in the black cab, on their way to 'Simpsons', Jeremy turns to his friend:
"Giles, old boy, I've been pondering something." "Oh? Do tell, Jeremy." "It's about Eli. You two share a remarkable camaraderie, don't you?" "Indeed, we do. Eli is a most delightful companion." "Then, I can't help but wonder, why haven't you two considered... well, something more akin to a partnership?" "Ah, I see your point, Jeremy. But while Eli and I do share a strong bond, we are, in essence, quite different." "Different? But you're both adventurous, daring even. You were in the SAS, for heaven's sake!" "True, Jeremy, but I only enlisted for six years. As you know, after active duty, I continue to serve in the Reserves. But our adventures are of a very different nature. Eli thrives on the thrill of the new and unexpected in her creative life, while my daring was a professional necessity. In my personal life, I find comfort in routine and familiarity." "But Giles," sighed his friend, "look at Sylvie and me. We're as different as chalk and cheese, yet we've built a wonderful partnership. Sylvie tells me that while Eli indeed thrives on the thrill of the new and unexpected in her creative life, in her personal life, she craves the steadfast support of a strong man who truly understands her." "Jeremy, every relationship is unique. What works for you and Sylvia might not work for Eli and me. Our friendship allows us to appreciate our differences without the pressure of conformity. It's a delicate balance, but one that suits us." "I suppose you're right, Giles. As long as you both are content, that's what truly matters." "Precisely, Jeremy. Precisely." Jeremy sat back, a thoughtful expression on his face. Giles' words echoed in his mind, stirring a whirlpool of thoughts. He finds it perplexing that Giles cannot see the potential of a partnership with Eli, especially when it mirrors the successful arrangement, he himself has with Sylvia. "What could they possibly be afraid of?" Jeremy muses to himself. He ponders over the possible reasons. Can it be the fear of losing their independence or the apprehension of sharing responsibilities? Or perhaps, it is the vulnerability that comes with trust and reliance on another person. But Eli clearly trusts Giles completely. Sylvia's mother, Lady Penelope, has always proven to be most perceptive. Her words, stating that Giles and Eli were 'two halves of a whole', resonate with him. They are indeed complementary, each possessing qualities that the other lacks, much like pieces of a puzzle fitting together to form a complete picture. Jeremy wonders if fear is holding them back from realising their potential. But fear of what, exactly? He would talk with Sylvie and ask her to talk with her mother. He resolves to bridge this gap to help them see what he, and evidently Sylvia's mother, can see so clearly. After all, partnerships, like the one he has with Sylvia, are about growth, learning, and moving forward together. And he believes Giles and Eli could do just that. #9

After a tour of the West Coast of the US my models are now 'in transit' to their destination. They've been 'in transit' for 6 days, which is plenty of time to drive a truck from California to Florida, never mind Colorado. The trouble is, I can't see where they are 'in transit' to. I suspect that they may well be winging their way back to Kernow models, I'll be calling them later this week just to see if they've got them John P | Please Support Us!
