Today, I was supposed to take delivery of my first car and was quite excited.
Yesterday afternoon, however, the dealer called me up with bad news. It arrived on the ferry from Germany into Kent somewhere, then got loaded onto a transporter and taken up to Grimsby. Grimsby! I live in London so this is not the right thing for it to do. I am concerned for its safety. Not even I would want to go to Grimsby.
Anways, this means that instead of it being checked and cleaned and delivered to me this morning (and I’ve fully paid for it by this point), I have to wait until tomorrow.
I suppose I should be thankful it hasn’t been shipped by Apple, otherwise it’ll be visiting Eindhoven, Cork and Portsmouth before arriving.

Given the amount of car crime in Grimsby, you’ll be lucky for it to leave the town with its wheels and stereo intact!

Blimey - hopefully it stayed chained to the transporter, unless that got nicked too
Plus, if it were being shipped by Apple, the tracking site still wouldn’t recognise the tracking number so you’d have no idea that it had made landfall in the UK but been sent to the wrong place.
