WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?

Thanks for that Peter. I was aware of the earlier technology but didn't know there was renewed interest in it, Fascinating.... I still don't fully understand how it works......

Waiting for a reply from an Ebay seller. I ordered a combination oil pourer/sprayer on the 26th September. It didn't turn up and I have been checking the tracking from EVRI. Last Thursday, 9th October it said that it was still at EVRI's hub. Checked yesterday and it then said it was delivered on the 6th October at 8.00pm, we were in at the time and heard nothing! As we are out at the gym four mornings I set an alternative drop location, (shed in the back yard). I have of course checked everywhere, shed, back yard, (including the bins) front door and garden, no parcel. Tracking says it was delivered to our address, no photo, I have notified the seller to that effect. Grrrr

Ebay seller has offered us a full refund. I have said that I will check our local drop off hub for EVRI which is One Stop on Church Street then advise if it's not there.

I signed up for the Evri App and changed my delivery address for all parcels to the hub in Earby. It works a treat, no more lost deliveries.

Well, my parcel isn't at the local Evri drop point. I had advised the supplier accordingly and gone for the refund offered. I will see if I can find one locally, maybe TK Max, I need a new 2lb loaf tin of particular dimensions so I may get that there as well if I'm lucky.

Evri are not the sharpest knives in the box. They sent me a message yesterday morning to say my parcel would be delivered 11:30 to 12:30 and then another email ten minutes later to say it would be delivered on another day, they would let me know when.
I don't think I have ever had anything delivered on time by them.

It sounds like my Evri experience related in this thread from October 2nd to 10th.

Chill out with these photos...

Lots of very patient photographers there.

THIS got my attention this morning....

Spoiler warning: This article reveals details from the third episode of The Celebrity Traitors. There were murders, betrayals... and a fart. The third episode of The Celebrity Traitors has taken place, and veteran British actress Celia Imrie releasing wind at a tense point in the game was one of the moments that got viewers talking. "What just happened?" presenter Claudia Winkleman demanded to know. "I just farted, Claudia. It's nerves, but I always own up," responded Imrie, sparking howls of laughter.

The other matter that got my attention was the fact I felt cold, so I have put my Damart Double force vest on. Yes, I know, I'm getting old and feeling the cold more.
