Ouch. Is that 50p per week over the next 5 years

or I could turn the thermostat down evem more on the house heating. Not sure how long that will take to pay Ray back as it's already set on frost protection and only comes on late October until March.

International rescue dont deliver weekends so might be Tuesday before I get spares. I don't think DHL understand the meaning of next day or express. Never mind local bottled beer is 6.2% and no risk of drink driving for a few days

Is that really 6.2% or 6.20 per pint and that's why there is no risk of drink driving! :rofl: :rofl:

I once asked a Spanish guy how he would say 'eventually'. He said that they didn't have a word to express such urgency.

You want to hope it is DHL , they're the best .
I import from the far east couple of times a month .
Fedex ,Tnt, Ups etc are known here as " Michael Palin transport " " Round the world in 80 days ."
DHL are normally 3-4 days .
Just wish DHL invoicing section were as good , when they make a mistake they won't admit it .

May have been cheaper to Fly Ray out with parts and bring him home on the back of the back, that way you could have made him pay half of the return the petrol bill. :idea:
