I've had this several times with Interparcel and will no longer use them because they apply handling charges that the courier themselves do not - that is two identical parcels sent via Parcelforce, one via a direct booking with Parcelforce and the other via an indirect booking via Interparcel will only attract the fee via Interparcel (I can be pretty confident about this having used both many times with similarly wrapped parcels). While I challenged Interparcel each time and won, the last time it happened I simply decided to vote with my feet and not use a business that cynically exploits unnecessary small print conditions for profit, in fact I'd go so far to say that the small print conditions in question were developed with exactly that in mind.

I assume that was tongue in cheek 👍

Absolutely this ^

Sometimes you just have to buy direct from the US, and just occasionally it ends up quicker and cheaper than buying from the UK (not always) 👍

Very nice, unusual neck grain?

Look behind many tragedies and even major disasters and there’s an alarm that has been routinely ignored or switched off. Building fires are funny things, you often don’t see them until it’s too late, as a close neighbour found out two years ago. CCTV is not a fire alarm, that’s why we have fire alarms

Sadly yes, never give a jobsworth the opportunity or excuse to be a jobsworth, they relish it. Sign of the times 😕

Agree with al of that, pretty sure it's a pic, although he might be mixing in other styles also 👍

That is sublime tone and a lovely part 👍

So, 2-3 years in, my cheap Chinese neck is feeling the strain, still plays OK, but the cracks seem to be getting bigger......
