Just that.
Back in the dawn of creation, any of those small adverts towards the
back of any newspaper or magazine would have that phrase somewhere near
the end of the text.
No-one today would find that acceptable, and we here at PlusNet Cottage
are thought eccentric because we're quite content to wait four or five
days for delivery (when it's free), and decline to pay for more instant
gratification.
Why do I bring this up?
Because Wofe ordered a replacement mesh cover for our recycling bin (the
old one was sacrificed in a hedgehog-related incident - don't ask) and
was told it would arrive in 8 weeks.
Other than the fact that a local authority is involved, I cannot imagine
why the supply of a standard item should take that long.
