    Couriers - they don't help themselves

    I use DPD-Local a lot and they have been good. We always have the same driver when delivering to my house which helps. I once arranged a collection from what I thought was an easy to find address in London (other couriers managed to find it) but three collections failed. The drop off at shop...

    Ghastly expressions you want to see the back of in 2011

    Favourite Poems?

    Blue Remembered Hills Into my heart an air that kills From yon far country blows: What are those blue remembered hills, What spires, what farms are those? That is the land of lost content, I see it shining plain, The happy highways where I went And cannot come again. A.E. Housman
