Where abouts in the North West?

My Fed Ex comes out of the Deeside depot..Always found them quite good.

I've had very few problems with Fed Ex to be fair they're one of my preffered ones to be bringing me stuff. But they dd lose a box of new Jeep Diff Parts a few months back that were destined for Dumfries and it was stuck on the radar as being in Milton Keynes. :mad: Silly woman in customer services wanted me to tell her what it looked like so she could try and find it:LOL: A Box ?
With customers address?

I've ordered a load of bits at 4pm today.. Currently sat in Warrensville Heights Ohio waiting for Fed-Ex and will be here Thursday before 12... 10.30ish if its the usual girl on the van I reckon.
The tracking info says they are trying to deliver it from the Chorley depot? :scratchhead::facepalm::banghead:
 
The muppet who designed the Lincoln bypass, I think they were also responsible for the northern York one as well.

Roundabouts and single carriage way on a bypass the cretins
I agree about roundabouts just like the one on thorney bypass A47. Trucks brake for the roundabout then accelerates after going around it using more fuel and causing more pollution. If traffic moves at constant speed , not braking and accelerating it's better for everybody.

It was 20 years out of date the day they opened it. Nobody here could understand the logic in having some lengths dual, and some lengths single which are just bottlenecks. And roundabouts with no traffic lights or slip roads. I think they modelled it on the old Leicester ring road!

Weather - it's raining (still) and it's freezing. I've just come home after morning milking, car heater on full blast all the way home and now I'm going to light the fire. Flaming June - yep......

Experian credit score. Biggest load of crap ever
So I had a poor score because I didn't use a credit card, I needed to improve my score
So I started to use my credit card and my score decreased " you are now using more of your available credit"
Me an the gf got a joint account and my score decreased " you now have another non credit bank account"
I closed a personal account I didn't use much " your score has increased because you have less bank accounts"
But then, "your score has decreased because you have closed an account and that has brought the average age of your accounts down"

I have no debt and use my credit card very carefully and it's always paid off yet I have a terrible credit score! Apparently I would have a better score if I had got into debt in the past!
Why does it bother you?
