Petty annoyances

caddymanI hate Parcel Farce, I really do.
I know I've grumbled about them before, but really. I bought some original artwork (yes, contact was finally made!) from Canada and Parcel Force tried to deliver it yesterday - after quite a rapid transit across the Pond, I have to say. Now, I am happy with the fact that they didn't leave it sitting outside the flat with both of us out at work. What pees me off is the fact that they dropped it off at a post office in North Finchley for me to collect and sign for.
North Finchley is a mile away and not on a Tube line. Post Offices don't open until 9am. In the meantime, there is a Post Office just 50 yards from The Carpathia. A further 100 or so yards along around the corner, is the local Post Office distribution office. They are far more local and open at 8.00.
Bloody Parcel Farce.
Still (pity it's not a better scan):
Eccles and Rose and the TARDIS in a trench, Christmas 1914.
It's a really nice piece; uninked.
edited to add: guess which branch opens at 9:30 on Tuesdays...
