    Is it County Court or High Court proceedings @punkdoc?

    Could you apply to have it struck out on the grounds of a vexatious claim and cite previous harassment.

    Thanks Dove, I'll have to remember that recipe. We had cheese for lunch so wanted something different though. Bought more chicken and will roast the legs.

    A delivery driver from Palletline just knocked on the door and asked if he could leave a delivery with me since the neighbour was out. No problem I said and he proceeded to unload a full-sized pallet with boxes stacked six feet high on top. "Where do you want it?" :#  I suggested we put it by the neighbour's garage door and I'd chuck a tarp over it and block it in with my car until he came home. He was backing it into place when I noticed the name on the delivery slip was for the previous owner of the house who lives on the next street up. I gave him a quick call and sure enough the delivery address was wrong. The delivery driver refused to reload it as his only options were delivery or return so I just got roped into helping move all the boxes up to the correct address. It makes you wonder about delivery drivers though. He was happy to leave the parcel with a random person, he was even happy to watch us take the parcels off to another address but obviously thought he'd get in trouble for getting involved. It was the only pallet in the van so he wasn't in a hurry to get to the next job.

  • Can't you just go to the store and pick it off the shelf? No let me guess,  the one you want is not on the shelves you have to order it, that would mean 2 trips to the shop. 
    Got it in one  ;)

    Looks like Santa got an upgrade. This 'sleigh' was crammed full of these pressie bags with only just enough space for the driver. Turning might have dislodged some so they just drove on the wrong side of this junction.
    I thought this might be my sister's brother stopping hastily for a pasty as he works for the same company but I couldn't hang around to find out sadly. It does seem like his parking style.

    To be fair to the delivery driver, they can only deliver to the provided address or leave the item with a neighbour.  Their only other option is to return it to the depot/sender.  To do otherwise would cost them their job.
    That said, we've had deliveries left in our porch for a property not even in our street. I took it round to the rightful recipient who thanked me and said they had called the courier company to find out where it was.  They said it had been left at No 55.  The lady would have been disappointed if she'd called there as even the number was wrong!
    My niece had to go searching for an item which had been 'delivered' but the supporting photo wasn't of her house.  Fortunately she recognised the house it had been delivered to.

    We needed new printer ink for the HP951.   104€ for a full set of cartridges.

    OH bought a new Epson printer for 190€ with a full set of ink bottles  which will last longer and be cheaper to replace.

    Now to work out how best to recycle the old one.
