Current Events > Update on my package: It just arrived

(+) Yeah! (+)

Funny how they said they postponed it to arrive till late January/Feb but then after I called them up, suddenly it arrives quick.

Reminds me of the Monty Python parrot sketch

"If you want something done in this country you gotta complain until you're blue in the mouth"

I thought it was meant to be a joke

But it's good news. "No really, I did buy you a present, it just won't arrive until exactly the same time as If I forgot to get you one and them ordered a slapdash replacement on Boxing Day." would sound dodgy as fuck

It's not wrong, but imo it applies to a lot more countries than just the UK

Wasn't my experience in The US or Germany or Japan

And the trains ran on time in Germany and Japan.

Dunno about the US tho, no one uses them.

They don't run on time in the UK

Deutsche Bahn transports 2 billion customers a year and is the largest rail operator in Europe. At its peak, 95% of German trains ran on time,

In 2019, the punctuality of trains operated by Deutsche Bahn Fernverkehr AG totaled 75.9 percent. A train with a delay of less than six minutes is considered to be on time.

Every fourth train was over SIX minutes delayed, dude
