Built to Last Autumn 2023 has landed in the Antipodes

[Ed Straker]

fantastic content as always.  I think a holiday to Malta is in order.

And it still arrived in plenty of time for me to get on a plane and take advantage of the discounted tickets to the NEC Classic Motor Show!!

Don't forget to check your issue!!

[Alan Drover]

I don't know whether I'll get mine. I'm still waiting for my vehicle insurance documents posted 13/10/23.

Alan Drover - what is it about the post round your neck of the woods? It's not as if you are in some rural backwater. Even I got my copy within a day or so if most people.

What did they do ... float them down under on a raft

I watched what appeared to be an apparition walking up the drive this morning. It wasn't though, it was a real live POSTMAN!!  CLR and 1 MG magazine in the mailbox but no B2L yet.

[Alan Drover]

By magic, there was post in the mailbox when I looked this afternoon but no B2L, Practical Classics or LRM. It seems the unimportant junk gets through.
2 deliveries in a week is unheard of these days. No postman seen sneaking up the drive today.

[Alan Drover]

Definition of "optimism."
A daily look in the mailbox to see if B2L (or indeed any post at all) has been delivered.
Nothing so far.

[Avalon]

Received mine yesterday!

What did they do ... float them down under on a raft

Of course not! it was a barge.  Obviously 12 fuel stops with a DC9, London to Wyndham, then by barge to Port Hedland followed by road train to Perth and finally by rail.

How many of you can smell the B2L journey?

The international club membership fee definitely worth the money!

Hi,

You don't wish to know this ....

ANTIPODES.

I thought it was ANTIPEDES (but we all know what Thought did. He thought he had, when he hadn't.) Whatever, Anti P*des means opposite footed, coz their feet point in the opposite direction to our feet, coz they are on the opposite side of the world.

Post today but no B2L. It's amazing that the useless junk mail catalogues always get through but nothing important.
Edit. Every item of post went for recycling after names and address were obliterated with a felt tip pen.

[Wittsend]

Seems the Royal Mail have at last been fined for not meeting their delivery agreements - despite hiking up the price of stamps 

Which probably means you won't get any outstanding deliveries - they'll just be dumped in some warehouse to be forgotten about, maybe to be discovered in 40 or 50 years time
