Quote from: dannyboy on Yesterday at 09:18:38 PMI am enjoying the tale Chris, but there are a few times when I sense a certain 'deja vu'. One is your reference to 'Yin and Yang' today - I am sure I have read that recently and, on checking, found it in one of the episodes a couple of days ago. It is easy to confuse my brain cell occasionally! (Just proving that I am reading  ). But, please do carry on in your normal inimitable vein.   

Thanks, David. I do try to avoid that but writing in episodes rather than a whole text, I do sometimes get things out of order or repeated. Sometimes it is deliberate where one character repeats something that another said, presumably in an unrecorded conversation.

I refuse to even try that. 

Speeding tickets. Ok so I hold my hands up and admit I was doing 36 in a 30 on a road which could easily be mistaken for a 50 limit but I'm not bitter, of course not. What I am unhappy about though is the underhanded way our company's fleet management firm went about things. On a Monday morning they send me an email saying they need to check my licence and need a check code which only I can supply. I send them that thinking that they haven't asked for this for 2.5 years when they should request it once a year so fair enough. Then Tuesday afternoon my company contacts me to say the fleet management company have sent them a copy of a speeding ticket and charged them £15 for the privilege of doing the admin and I have to pay the £15! So it seems I'll be fined by Devon & Cornwall police and also fined by the fleet management company 

at least you know what happened now. Doesn't help get them to you any quicker.

I 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

So, Kernow put an incomplete and incorrect address on the shipping label for my CL158's.

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

If you turn it upside down, does it say "Welcome" instead of "G'day"
