TO Greg and Carol......I haven't had a connection in about a week and this one may not last long so.....

I'll come back as soon as I can and tell the tale, but greg....Greg, got you Santa gifts and they took over a month!!! Carol, the US Post Office is tracing yours.   I am sorry guys, but the mails seem to have conspired against me...and you as well. Anyway....more later.   And thanks for the patience!

Patience? Too bad...he really likes stuffed things that gyrate and make noise. Or you could have sent him a selection of artists performing Dainty Davey.

The fault may not be at the US end, Spaw - the UK's "Royal" Mail is in a right mess these days. They even admitted before $mas that they were likely to lose one parcel in 3 because of untrained (cheap) casual delivery staff dumping mail rather than walk their rounds in the cold. Apparently if there's no-one in and the parcel won't fit the box, they leave it on the doorstep for anyone to help themselves rather than carry it back.

Having said that, I did get mine (from bet in Alaska) - the mail man left it with the lady next door. Hopefully he'd do the same with Carole's if it made it this far.

Happy New Year
Andrew

Hi Spaw.....my Special secret santa

Thank you and I'm so sorry my parcel has gone missing. Last year I had to chase the Post Office for about a month to get the wonderful parcel that Sorcha had sent me. Everytime they tried to deliver either I was out or it was delivered to the wrong address. I'm sure that all will be OK eventually this year..... Thanks Spaw xxxxxxxx
