When one has an itchy spot between one's shoulderblades, a twelve-inch ruler makes an excellent implement for alleviating the discomfort.

Provided, of course, that one does not inadvertantly let go of the end when distracted by, for example, the doorbell going unexpectedly.

And the discomfort caused by a spot between the shoulderblades is as nothing to the discomfort of embarrassment when a twelve-inch ruler drops out of one's trouser-leg onto the feet of an electricity meter reader.....

I've played on a float on it a couple of times. The first time was great fun. The second time it poured with rain and there wasn't enough shelter on the float so in order to protect my sax I had water pouring down the back of my neck. Then the rain got into the generator and the electrics conked out which killed the keyboard, bass and guitar. Thankfully I had an appointment that afternoon so could escape at half time.

See if you can get hold of tracking/proof of posting from your eBay seller smile.gif


Maybe it would be easier just to open an 'item not recieved' claim through the official channels on eBay.

I don't think I'd do that just yet : it will potentially spoil the relationship between buyer and seller for what looks like a Royal Mail general problem. Claims/opening of cases should be an action of last resort.

I'm sure we no longer get post delivered everyday. unsure.gif There are a couple of days each week when everyone in our block of flats gets post and on other days no-one gets any (but I'm not sure that it's regular days). huh.gif I'm waiting for something that was posted first class on Thursday and there was no post at all on Saturday or today. mellow.gif

I have noticed precisely the same thing. dry.gif

I thought they had retired? unsure.gif

Hope you enjoyed it - they are utterly fantastic, especially Dillie Keane. wub.gif

My post still hasn't come. mad.gif sad.gif

My post still hasn't come. mad.gif And nor has an item I purchased off Ebay which the seller posted on 7th Nov. sad.gif (I've looked on her profile and happy feedback has been left for other items she posted on the same day mellow.gif). I've had items posted since which have arrived in a timely manner and Royal Mail are being distinctly unhelpful. dry.gif Not happy... mad.gif mad.gif

I've sent a polite message to the seller. smile.gif I am also missing a package from a real shop (which I have ordered from before) which was posted 1st class on 3rd November. sad.gif I think the problem is Royal Mail, but I am quite annoyed as between them the 2 packages were worth over ?30... mad.gif

Thanks! I don't think they've retired... although Liza has been replaced by someone new called Sarah-Louise Young. smile.gif

Time feels different in exam month. It passes so slowly that you can almost see it. But it seems like it has been snatched away when you open the test paper.
