No problems Brad - and who knows it may slip beyond then, hope not, but in the meantime send in a satchel and it will be filled :icon_cheers: Assuming everyone has their satchels in then, if it is the Council's wish, then Gondor will see it done. h34r:

LOL, 'twas the only envelope I had, so it was gonna fit no matter what!

BribieG, the real question is 'How much postage did he use on that envelope?'

I played it safe and stuck 2x55c stamps on...no way was I gonna miss out cause of some tight postal worker!

well i cant find my post where i insinuated that wharfies are the laziest most useless corrupt bunch of people. but its there somewhere. HTF do you check off a ship cargo manifest and miss 300kg of hops. fkn idiots.

I wonder if you are just pulling our legs Graham. It seems relatively unlikely that the hops were left behind. On the other hand, it does make some sense given your previous comment about not having the Bill of Lading. I'm curious but can only assume that there is some good news to come if this is true.
