Moved these comments here to a new thread as it is an interesting, worthwhile and, most important, fun discussion, but we don’t want to take the original thread off topic

Unless they dispatched it immediately, not sure why they couldn’t just correct it on their system instead of telling you to request a refund. That just seems totally unnecessary

(Unless they inherited some aged computing, totally pre-web focussed, system like Carphone Warehouse did from Dixons!)

I don’t want to take this thread off-topic, but that really would be (another) thread worth having

Thanks!

My ennoblement is running slightly ahead of the announcement

Starting off very gently with a bit of light splitting out of uncontroversial posts!

I read that as “a bit of light spitting out of uncontroversial posts.”

Congrats on the new job!!!

Thanks!

Hopefully not going to find myself on either end of controversial posts, spitted out or otherwise :slight_smile:
