Yes, sorry, I realised that and should have mentioned that I wasn't offering it as a suggestion to you. It's just your Amazon annoyances reminded me of my own. 
One thing to consider with Amazon is having stuff delivered to your nearest Amazon Locker. If you have one near you they are very convenient.
No worries - I understood that you were just adding your own annoyance! Just fancied extending my moan a bit One thing to consider with Amazon is having stuff delivered to your nearest Amazon Locker. If you have one near you they are very convenient.
No Amazon lockers nearby, closest one is a 20 minute walk away and that's just annoying if I need to lug back a heavy item. In a roundabout way though, you've been helpful as it turns out I can select the post office at the end of my street as an Amazon pick up location... Might be far more useful

But that would mean ALL my deliveries go to 82, and... Well... There are certain deliveries I get that I wouldn't want to fall into the hands of any of my neighbours, lest they accidentally... open it... 
Don't worry about it, even if they do open those parcels, if it's a retired couple they probably won't have the puff to blow it up all the way anyway.

I just want to watch a cat falling off a chair. I don’t want to sit through your 30 second intro/title sequence. Many of these make the Day Today intros look subtle. You aren’t Universal or 20th Century Fox so do us all a favour and just cut to the cat falling off a chair and spare us the pretence.

MRS400 has started drinking mint/lemon/fruit teas.
However shes took it upon herself to keep mixing the spoons up, thus me ending up with a mixed brew.

Missed a parcel from Royal Mail
They didn’t try my neighbour (I have cctv)
The options are
Re deliver for free (good but can’t guarantee being in)
Collect for free from sorting office, it’s not that far away but in a city centre, so parking, queuing, over an hour round trip
Deliver to local post office - excellent, except you have to pay. You’d think that’d be easier and cheaper for them. Hi

All this delivery talk reminded me how much I hate Hermes, specifically our local delivery fella. Every time he delivers something he pisses me off.
He once had a go at me that he was running around like a blue-arsed fly because he'd had to re-deliver. Well mate, just like most people, just like yourself, I'm at work all day so I'm not going to be in to take delivery of some hot sauce or whatever. Another time he had a full rant at me and called me a snowflake. What? He dropped something off the other day and I was round the back washing my motorbike. He started telling me how his grandson's Mercedes is much faster. Okay mate, good for you.
He's now started just signing for parcels and dumping them in the garden. You actually get an email with his effort of your signature. Fairly sure that isn't approved Hermes procedure? Been doing the same thing with my colleague.
Also, while we are on the topic, I was annoyed the other week when I had to take a half day at work to be in to take a parcel. No drop-off point, no neighbours, had to be in and present ID. Absolutely ridiculous.

I go to an antiques fair over in Ripley fairly regularly. It's at the village hall.
The thing that annoys me beyond reason is that the sellers take up the entire car park and buyers have to park round the back in a small field, which is dusty in summer and muddy in winter.
I'd have thought it would make more sense for sellers to unload then park round the back for the day, rather than hogging the car park for the whole day.

It probably would but they aren't going to bother as long as people still keep turning up. The thing that annoys me beyond reason is that the sellers take up the entire car park and buyers have to park round the back in a small field, which is dusty in summer and muddy in winter.

I'll mention this to my wife as she has just started selling (and was selling at Ripley a few weeks ago!). It's probably something she hasn't considered.The thing that annoys me beyond reason is that the sellers take up the entire car park and buyers have to park round the back in a small field, which is dusty in summer and muddy in winter.
