Steamport Southport Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I don't know whether it's a myth but apparently a conversation he had with Beryl Reid was something like "Do my lips move?" "Only when the dummy speaks" 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamport Southport Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I suppose it was a bit like The Clitheroe Kid. Worked alright on the radio or on stage, but by the time he was on TV he was just a short, middle aged bloke dressed as a school kid. Jason 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It 'caught the water' and the driver could not shut the regulator. The engine slipped for 15 minutes without moving forwards.

The problem that we get is that we have a Birmingham Postcode but aren't in Birmingham Royal Mail & Parcelforce treat it differently. Royal Mail deliver from a district office in Birmingham, Parcelforce is somewhere else. I order something from Germany (this parcel), it comes via Parcelforce, if I order from China (AliExpress) it comes via Royal Mail & the local postie delivers it.......... Go figure! A parcel from Germany a few years ago turned into a tug-o-war between the two resulting in a lost parcel and the seller had to claim for loss and supply me with a new order. EDIT Sure enough it is going back to the Hub! Edited May 17, 2020 by melmerby 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted May 18, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 18, 2020 (edited) Latest Info from Parcelfarce "We are unable to locate your item" "We do not recognise that tracking number" So two orders from the same retailer in Germany over a couple of years And it looks like they have lost the second as well as the first. What a total shambles. EDIT They seem to have found it again, still in the incorrect delivery office EDIT 2 Now on the way back to the National hub (again) Edited May 18, 2020 by melmerby 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
