Did your USB light arrive yet Peter? Mine's turned up today. Hard to tell since it's not really that dark yet (can't be arsed firing up the laptop 'til I need to), but it's definitely OK for a free item  EDIT - Metal LED cover fairly heats up though... _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

No, it still hasn't arrived! I know I have post to be delivered today, but the postman doesn't bother delivering on most days. I have got an Amazon Prime membership, so it's good fun ordering Special Delivery items. I order really low-value ones when I know he isn't going to deliver, just to make him do some work! No wonder he doesn't like me  Peter. _________________A Mac user

At the moment, he thinks it's okay to do one delivery a week! I once asked him why he doesn't deliver every day and his response was "You don't have post every day". It's strange how he appears once a week with bundles of post, a lot of which are dated up to ten days ago. Peter. _________________A Mac user

I'd contact his superiors, or at least see if there's anything useful on the Royal Mail site... _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Another day without post. I know for sure two seperate items were due today, which were sent on Monday and Tuesday respectively by recorded delivery. I think I'll see what he has to say when he does eventually deliver them. If he doesn't have a good reason, then I'll contact his superiors at the sorting office, I guess.

It depends where he's based out of. If you have a local post office, I'd start by making enquiries there.

I'd rather spend a night alone with Dale Winton than step foot in my Post Office. It's been taken over by a gentlemen called Mr Patel and I have never met such arrogant and obnoxious staff in my entire life. I had to end up apologising for trying to send a big parcel because it would waste their space! Peter. _________________A Mac user

Sorry if last night's post was a bit aggressive. I was in a bad mood and decided to take it out on the Post Office.
Peter.

My postman decided to show his face this morning, probably due to that fact I had a Special Delivery guaranteed for delivery today.
He brought me two huge boxes of post, so I politely asked him why there are so many letters today and I haven't received anything for the last two weeks. He expects me to believe that all of those were posted yesterday.
Two of the items are even postmarked in late June, so there's no excuse at all. I think it's time for a word with my local sorting office.
Peter.

^ Yip, let's face it, he's paid to get your post to you ASAP - that's his remit  _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:
