Afternoon All,
Skipping has again happened, as I had so many parcels to wrap and check out on Evri - though that's not quit so - it was mainly 30747 doing the wrapping, and me doing the checking out and transport to the Evri parcel drop - about six today. Also went to the annual car boot at Ashton Carbonell where last year they stuck strictly to the "gates open at 11am" rule - and caused traffic chaos on the minor not quite double track road into the village (the village is a cul de sac). the C road leading to and from Caynham, and onto the A49 itself. The local plod were, apparently, not amused. We went early to get near the front of the queue, to find that there was no such queue, as they had decided to just go ahead and allow the sellers and buyers in early - like a more normal car boot. We got a few bargains - a fiver got me a 1930s Wonder Book of Railways in not bad condition - no date, but one piece about travelling LMS to Glasgow refers to two four coupled locos taking over at Carlisle for the run over Beattock, and loco changes at Rugby and Crewe.
Tomorrow is Oxfam, and taking one parcel to the post office, as Evri/Hermes do not deliver to Jersey - I already make a surcharge for North Scotland and Nortern Ireland, as Evri charge an additional £2.75 and warn buyers of this, but I overlooked the same for the Channel Islands - stand by for a loss on the postage!!!
Regards to All
Stewart
