Education is just wasted on some people

I think they would like to know what is the latest time they can pay in order to have a next day delivery lyk

FFS... I wouldn't trade with anyone who wrote that purely as a point of principle!


tomprescott - 27/10/09 at 07:34 PM

Being (probably) slightly younger than some of you I don't have a problem understanding that. Although I often suspect that people who write in that way are borderline braindead!

"No, I mean like, say, do you have a time, like, if you order before 5pm, then next day delivery is possible or something like that?

Well here is MK1

"Hi, until wat tym do u alow wat upto for next day toda delivery?"

I misunderstood and thought he had purchased something and was waiting in for it so asked what he had purchased so I could track it for him, I was a little puzzled as I could not find anything he had purchased from us.

Must be my age.

I say old chap, is there some kind of deadline for ordering to be eligible for next day delivery? I'd jolly well appreciate if you could let me know. Toodle pip!

I just choose not to.
