Sorry .......... Ignorant people we are part of the Channel Islands.
Should read ......... Ignorant people 'think' we are part of the Channel Islands.

Saturday delivery also incurs an extra charge and there's usually another to the sender for delivery in the parts of London where there's a congestion charge. Large companies sending out dozens or even hundreds, of parcels per week, can probably dictate terms to some extent, too. You're lucky! A number of companies will simply not deliver to the Highlands of Scotland, or will charge an excessive ammount. This is now becomming apparent in one television advert for a vacuum cleaner that states that the offer is not available to the Highlands of Scotland. Come Independance, and the boot will be on the other foot!!! We are hardly a UNITED Kingdom. Phil Northern Highlands of Scotland .................................................. ....................... Phil we have the same sort of problems with just a few suppliers to the Isle of Wight. Ignorant people we are part of the Channel Islands. The fact that we are a PO post Code, Portsmouth, does help in a lot of cases. Those that DO recognise us as normal and that we DO have Electricity and a Postman and running water, do very well out of us. I bought a couple of bulky items on eBay and there was no trouble at all in getting them delivered at NO extra charge. 'Do we need a passport and what currency do you use?' are genuine questions when I am in England and I tell people I am from the Isle of Wight. I wonder if they will understand when the bridge is built. Mike --------------------------------------------------------------- www.hmscollingwoodassociation.com www.rneba.org.uk |
