Back in 1979 Labour said this about the dire results were Devolution to go ahead. After some electoral shenanigans, it took another 20yrs. I am disappointed that devolution hasn’t been the end of the BBC. Interesting slogan isn’t it: Vote for the UK, Vote No. Labour has come full circle, I think.

#groundhogday Update on Day3. No delivery. Nothing on DPD app. Until just now 9pm when I get this. They should rename themselves DUD. Busy composing my devastatingly critical email to Wex suggesting they abandon DUD. If I’d bought it from Amazon I’d have had it last Saturday.
Latest in the saga of my DPD delivery Day2. Delivery slot 7-8pm. Currently I’m delivery no91 and the driver is at no39. So that’s 52 deliveries to go. And the DPD app reckons it’ll be here in 45 mins. That’s less than 1min per delivery.
