Lazy ass SO wouldn't answer the door (recent spate of polite/impolite ex-offenders cold calling selling crap), so I'll have to pick it up tomorrow AM.

Mine was waiting at home yesterday when I got back - it's excellent. Thank you so much for sorting out the order and dealing with us all.

That really sucks. Have they managed to find it yet?

Incidentally, the address label had your forum name above your real name. I wouldn't have thought that would make any difference to them, but just in case it's got them confused...

"PomBstard" raised a smile at the Post Office...

I did mean to strike through them with a marker pen after I'd stuffed the bags. paperbag They were only there because a couple of people had similar surnames and I could see myself putting the wrong kit in the wrong bag otherwise...

I have to pick mine up at the P/O tomorrow. Looking forward to the gimp there saying ",,,,er, "Daddy Cool"?" biggrin

Confirmed - in front of a queue of people she did a doubletake at the label, then smiled and asked "so, which name would you like to sign as?"
I went as red at the jersey!

Fits well though - many thanks for organising!! thumbup

Hah, I never even noticed the forum names, and the post office guy didn't bat an eyelid, suppose they see all sorts...

Anyway, kit looks excellent, thanks very much for sorting it.

Yeah I got a call back just after they closed. It was stored as Capt. Benzo.

Not as bad as some of the handles on here. If only I had some navy whites to stroll to the po in.

Ah, my fault then Ben. I'd assumed they'd just go by postcode and house number. Sorry that you had a wasted trip earlier and will have to go back.

Also picked mine up from the post office this afternoon.
The username caused a bit of confusion. smile
Lovely bit of kit although the neck is slightly smaller than I prefer but I'm sure I'll get used to it, must be all that 'body armour' I'm wearing underneath.
Thanks again for organising the group buy. clap

It's a 5 minute ride, gives me an excuse to get out on the bike this morning.
Cheers

And that's not really going to narrow it down when it gets this end either - there are a few of us about according to the locals biggrin

Red and green will do for now.

Picked up my top this morning, but its pissing it down so no test run. Might go out tomorrow of its dry.

Quite snug on my round frame but looks the business.

Thanks again 6pb,
Can we go green next year?
