Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
Mr T had a bad fall yesterday evening, he called me and I found him on the floor wedged between 2 pieces of furniture. I contacted two of our neighbours to come and assist getting him back up, it was a great struggle but they managed it. Only to find he had banged his forehead and there was a lump the size off an egg and bleeding.
I phoned 111 and a medic came to give him a once over, he decided Mr T didn't need hospital, but said if he felt worse to phone 111 back because there is 24 hour wait for an ambulance...eh?

I asked in person in the village, and was told it had stopped ages ago. The loss of Lloyds had passed me by until I tried to find it.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
On Tuesday I had to have a blood test at my local hospital, get there and there are ZERO parking spots, it did help when they turned car park in to a building.
So I had to park 1/2 a mile away, just as well I'm able bodied.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
Well after my previous post about my tablet dying I ordered a new Galaxy Tab S9 from O2 on the 3rd with next day delivery.
It's still not been dispatched. Apparently they are having 'warehouse' issues and nothing seems to have been dispatched since the end of Novemeber. Comments all over their socials about it.
So goodness knows when I'll actually get it.  as orders from Friday onwards are still waiting, never mind this week's.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
Let me guess, “we apologise for any inconvenience caused”?

Their SMS states
Quote:

O2: Your recent order has taken us a little longer to process, sorry about that. Your order should be with you in the next few days. Our carrier will text you with updates. Thanks.

I've received it daily for the past 4 days
Their often posted twitter reply is
Quote:

We’re sorry or the delay with your order being dispatched and delivered. Your order will be sent as soon as possible, and you’ll be kept updated via text message. Once your order is shipped from the warehouse, you’ll receive a message from the courier with delivery information. Thanks for your patience
|
Literally not telling anyone what the issues is or why there are dispatch delays of a whole week. Website updated to remove next day option and warning of delays on store page.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
Meanwhile, I paid extra for a specified day delivery so the missus’ Christmas present could safely arrive here while she was at work and the offspring was at school. The courier showed up with it yesterday teatime. Had to shut wife and teenagers in the kitchen and have them hoik it into the spare bedroom, then shut the door and ban any of them from going in. Will have to wrap it tomorrow and then come up with some clever way of covering it so it’s not obvious what it is.
Then I’ll be phoning the retailer and demanding a refund of the additional ‘specified day’ delivery service, which I did not receive.

I'm sorry but a pony won't survive until Christmas wrapped up. Why can't specified delivery mean what it says?

Missus does seem to think I’m housing a cat in the spare room 
I spoke to them this morning and got a refund of the extra I paid for named dat delivery. CSR said they had only recently switched to Arrow for their distribution and it has been a nightmare for them.
