That's twice within 4 weeks that Royal Mail have lied to me by e mailing a delivery day and failing to meet their own promise. What a useless bunch they are  

  

Mind you the sentimental piece about the Warship Goliath was touching and special to your memories. Performs well and like the viaduct over the river

I really don't think the rest of the members would shut up just for me to take a vid

Great videos mick especially over the viaduct but probably could have done without the chatter.

They show up multiple times in a location when they are still there later and get rescanned so that the royal snail knows where they still are.

My latest order seems to be parked in Milton Keynes for delivery in a slot 2 hours ago. Doing better than B&Q whose timber delivery is now 5 hours late and I imagine won't be turning up today. I think I shall be petty and re-order it from their rival and tell them where to stuff it.

And husbands. I know I find the noise of model trains running interferes terribly with certain elements of my hearing

 how did it arrive twice at Gatwick, was it on a yo-yo ?

and how come it is still sat there at 13:56, it should have benn shipped to Burgess Hill DO, and maybe even put on a van and delivered, but no, still sitting at Gatwick, hopefully it might shift itself tomorrow, but knowing royal snail, I won't expect too much action.
so the seller pays a premium price for next day delivery, which royal rip off ignores, and to try to ask what is going on requires a wait of "an average wait of 53 minutes to have you call answered", that will drain my phone's battery, while driving me mad listening to their awful so called music.
when I asked our postie a year or so ago why we now got our post in the afternoon, instead of the morning, he told me they had to deliver the priority mail first.
IS RM24 NOT PRIORITY
obviously not, the indian takeaway menues seem to get delivered, just not what people have paid for.
arrrrrggghhhhhhh
what is it with this useless company these days.
