I've just come back from a short trip to our local Sainsbury's, where they are now stocking chocolate advent calendars...   

Understanding that the UK is rather warm these days, I guess they may want to be getting the stock shifted before it all melts....

107 degrees today!

It's been 100-107 for weeks and our fire truck's AC has been broken since June 26!! see

Post: need I say more?
After my last few parcels arriving from the UK in a matter of days, the current one has so far been stuck at Heathrow waiting a flight for a week, and now stuck in Melbourne awaiting clearance for 4 days.
Of course it could be because the postal service don't want me to have my first Dapol class 66.

At least you have the excuse that it has come halfway round the world. I recently made an eBay purchase that took 11 days to travel the 60-odd miles from Reading. But then, it did come via Evri, so I suppose I was lucky to get it in one piece, or at all.

Cheers,

Chris

Humbrol paint. New tin, tight lid, bought 2 weeks ago, much, much stirring. Ok, it is a matt paint, but it's 27C today.

Oh dear! Though I think vigorous stirring might probably fix it.

You'll not get your wife's kitchen whisk in that

well, after putting that post on yesterday morning, I checked again at lunchtime to see the delivery was STILL STUCK IN CUSTOMS.

Only for it to be delivered at 2pm. What gives.

So last night I got to check out my first Dapol 66 from the new run.

From my thread about tracking parcels abroad...........

I guess 12 days transit is not bad. It's just the infuriating inability to get tracking details that's the problem.
