Postal service delivery times are extended too. Normally orders would arrive a few days after Leon posts them but my last one took a full week to get to me (I'm in NI so may not be true for mainlanders). Even Amazon prime seems to have shifted from 1 day to 1 week delivery times so the whole delivery system is likely under strain, hopefully because they're taking the necessary precautions to keep their staff safe (which will obviously slow things down).

Mark.....Please tell me I don't have to listen to the above.

(Oh...alright...I gave it a chance....... I've heard a lot worse......To quote H2G2....Mostly harmless.....But I'll stick with Led Zep. ;))

I woulddn.t listten to them musically if you paid me, but I was just suggesting if you were stuck on a desert island., they may be better company , and easier on the eye than  Led Zeppelin

Mind you ,it would need to be a big enough island to get out of earshot if they wanted singing practice.  :)

Perhaps Leon could introduce a "buy your way up the queue" policy when ordering on the website.

You place yours order and tick the box "I want an expedited service", enter the amount you wish to pay for this service and the orders get processed from the highest payment to the lowest. :) :)

Given the boredom levels it could be quite profitable, especially if we have another 3 or more weeks to go.

Be great to think there were 'just' three weeks to go.

Don't know about you folks, but I'd have a wild guess, in that we won't see much 'change' until sometime in July. :(
Fingers crossed for earlier.

Well The circuits the Government bought for the  Nightingale Hospital in London, are on a 1 year contract. Now they could cancel early and pay the full cost, but I am sure my company would have come up with an short time alternative given the situation, so perhaps they are anticipating a need for quite a while.

*sigh* Well Monday morning, no painting done this w/e, mostly cos 2 weeks in and the Pendrken still hasnt got through. Just to make Leon feel bad, I thought I'd include a picture of some bases feeling extremely lonely.

Obviously you did not tick the "I want an expedited delivery" box, or your offer was not enough to put you at the top of the queue


I am waiting for some customised movement trays - my second lot since lockdown

Nothing to paint - sorry I do not comprehend that statement. (I don't think many on this forum will either)
