Your order will be delivered between...

[Pro Tour Punditry]

I received a text this morning to tell me that a laptop I had ordered would be delivered today between 14.41 and 15.41.

And it was delivered at exactly 14.41.

That is all.

Punctual. I like that.

There is a give-a-fark due from me between the end-of-time and the end-of-time-plus-one-hour. I'll you know when it comes.

Was that DPD?

They deliver work related stuff to me every week and they are always within the timeslot. Makes a change from the "Between 8am and 5pm" brigade.

It was indeed, I told the driver I was very impressed and he said they "always" deliver as agreed as they plan routes properly and don't set unrealistic targets.

How fascinating.

It arrived around three in the afternoon.

We have a regular DPD driver, Emile. Nice chap - always punctual and knows where he can leave stuff if we're not in.

Our Yahoo man's like that...

Not another one.

You really do need to be more careful with the old vin rouge

My missus is currently waiting for something that was supposed to be delivered "between 07:00 and 22:00" today and that requires a signature. It left Bristol at 09:30 and has still not arrived. Good job it's a non working day, but we've not been able to go anywhere, and I've ended up on gardening detail as a result! Less than impressed.

Nah, this time it was not due to spillage.

She should say "that nobber Marmion got his laptop dead on time from DPD, what's wrong with you lot?"

Me too.
I was a bit worried about heading to the loo in case it was a siren call to the delivery drive that it would be the most excellent moment to knock on. My poor dogs have only had quick outings to the grassed area over the road so I can see my front door while out. They are deeply fed up that they haven't had their hour's walk in the afternoon. I wonder if I can modify the turbo

I feel old

I remember having to order by post, enclosing a cheque and allowing 28 days for delivery
