Thank you for your patience. In the meantime the new premises are taking shape and will be offering a much enhanced "retail experience" when everything reopens, here is the new space this morning, still under construction and liable to further improvement... And cheaper to order from Simon than all on Ebay too..... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

D869 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 There has been a theory put forward on another list that the folks who have so far had 278 by mail from Cygnet are the folks who contributed articles. Not sure if this is right or wrong but the pattern does fit. Hopefully you will all get your copies soon. I'm trying to make mine last a while because there is no knowing when the next one will be along. Regards, Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Not Jeremy Posted April 14, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 14, 2020 Thank you very much to everyone who has ordered 278 (and other things) from me, very much appreciated. However, I am afraid I have to report a bit of a "cock up on the catering front" in as much as demand has quickly outstripped my usual supply quantities and so I have had to reorder more copies in from Cygnet. Quite a lot went out today and the system should have generated e-mails to all those to whom orders are being sent. Apologies for this, I guess I should have anticipated the situation but the response/demand has been way out of anything near my normal experience, perhaps not surprising given the rather extraordinary circumstances we all find ourselves in. Thank you for your patience, I am arranging for a "bonus" enclosure with orders which I hope people will enjoy, something that turned up in a dusty corner of the warehouse in my recent move. On the subs copies front, I believe there has been a bit of a logistical problem with picking up packed copies (social distancing, a mature workforce) all of which are now being worked through. And also I sense that the mail is not quite as quick or consistent as it usually is, for obvious reasons. Happy reading to all when they arrive from wherever they have been sent!

I gather that Royal Mail is currently banning overtime - or so I read - plus there will presumably be a fair few staff off.

I did wonder if this might be the case. Not to worry. I shall await my copy and look forward to my complimentary copy of "Life on the Edge - Tales of a Monorail Driver in the days of the Raj" Rob.

RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted April 15, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 15, 2020 I am also not surprised to read that demand has outstripped your stock, but will patiently await the rattle of the letter box and inviting thud on the door mat as the reading material arrives ready to sit in the garden with appropriate beverage to enjoy a few hours immersed in our favourite subject. I have been re-reading through my "stock" so a few extra days covered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if this is right or wrong but the pattern does fit. I got my subs copy a week ago (not long after they went out) and haven't contributed any articles. I'm sure it's just delayed in the postal service, my postie says they've got less business mail to deliver but small packages and parcels have quadrupled which is taking a little longer to distribute, as he says though they don't bother with the 'you weren't in' cards .... 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold queensquare Posted April 15, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 15, 2020 I had a lengthy chat with Cygnet yesterday and as Simon says, the subs copies were packed up and ready for dispatch pretty quickly. Unfortunately the gent who deals with them (and has done since about issue 5) is currently in complete isolation and there have been problems getting them picked up by the PO. The team are working on the problem and it is hoped it will be resolved in the next few days. This is obviously far from ideal but these are unprecedented times and we thank everybody for their patience. Jerry 2 1 7 4 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Thanks Jerry, that certainly helps explain the fact that my subscription copy hasn't arrived yet, together with on-going workload for the Royal Mail folks. I was going to ask this morning if anyone else hadn't had their subscription copy, but I don't need to do that now. Your article in the previous issue on the 54XX chassis that you did for Gerry Beale has proven very helpful in my current 74XX chassis project 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
