    DHL are appalling here. OH's new UK passport ended up in the hands of DHL. We waited in for its delivery but it never arrived so re-checked the tracking which now said the address was incorrect - lie. We fed this back and waited in again only to receive the message that we had moved house! We ended up having to drive to another city to collect it in person. A week later we were informed his old passport was being returned, again via DHL. Lo and behold the exactly same thing happened so off we went again to collect it in person. We are currently awaiting a delivery from the UK - unfortunately DHL being the courier ... might as well get the car out of the garage.

  • Might just be easier to move to your "new" address @2000GTV.  Perhaps DHL may even buy it for you as they obviously find it easier to deliver everything there  ;)
    Hope they do better with your next expected delivery.
  • The phrase "eye-watering" seems to have become popular lately. It describes things that do not make your eyes water.

    I would love an eye watering moment,  after a particularly nasty strain of flu some years ago my eyes were left permanently damaged .

    Why do people say that their opinions are humble? They're not and neither is mine!
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    I said that and one of my clients said " A......., your opinions are many things. However, humble: they are not "

    Do you eat or drink soup?
    After much thought, I've decided it's nothing to do with thickness but with the size and amount of lumps. Even thick soup is drunk but when it contains more lumps than liquid, it's eaten.

    We take medicine. The masks mean we can now sneak into the chemist's  undetected.

    Trimmings!   Does anyone just sit down to the turkey on its own,  if I hear that word once more I’m going to scream.

    So,  trimmings then, pigs in blankets,  sausage meat stuffing?
