    I hadn't even thought about it until I read this thread, but yes - guilty as charged.


    Usually disappointed though :o

    Yip, this is also me!
    My house is on the corner so traffic is always slowing down to take the corner and EVERY time a delivery-type van slows down I'm peering out the window, willing them to to stop at me, but inevitably they are just going round the corner. boo :(

    My neighbour upstairs has had some parcels delivered recently and he's always slow to come down & answer the door so the deliveryman has come to mine to ask if I can take in the parcel...I think I should tell him to get lost! he never brings me anything nice so why should I do him a favour :mad: :D

    What was the number for that Compers-Anonymous again.:whistle:

    I can't see the window from my office area, so I've started to recognise the engine sounds of the delivery vans. :)

    So if I hear one pulling up in our close, I'm up and moving into a position to see if it's stopped outside my house or across the road. :D

    This morning I had a delivery at 7.10 am. Sadly it was not a comping win but something I'd ordered...
