What a bunch of tossers. :evil:
Good news !

My two packages turned up at 08:18, my alarm was set to 08:20. So I was woken up abruptly.

Although I'm glad to actually receive them, it's been 3 weeks in total, and nothing from Evri or Autodoc to say that the situation (ie lost) had changed since the 15th Nov.

I have unpacked them, and they look good. Genuine Monroe made in the good old USA. :)

PS It is the original consignment cos the labels are dated 3/11/2023, ordered on the 1/11/2023.

PPS It seems I got an Email from Evri at 07:51 this morning advising delivery between 07:30 and 09:30

Your understanding of the word "Impatient" seems different to most dictionaries.

Yeah I did wonder. My chum who lives in Hanslope admitted he hadn't a clue - just another target for our enemy to bomb.
Philosophers have only interpreted the world - the point, however, is to change it. No it isn't ... maybe we should leave it alone for a while.

I did think about that but you know what I mean, as I do you.

Youselot might remember a while back when I enthused about Lithium AA and Aaa batteries. Using them in demanding modes - dab radio, busking amplifiers, bike lights.

I have had nothing but wonderfulness - current and voltage and reliability compared to weedy nimh types ( of which I've had the dubious pleasure)

And then one of the aaa batteries conks out ( used sparingly in a torch. - won't charge. Annoying!
