    Until today - I've got an Amazon delivery scheduled today, and the driver is.... Dave! (who is scheduled to be here between 12:08 and 13:08)

    DPD are amazing. Best couriers out, cannot fault them.

    Oddly though, they seem to only employ drivers who have names beginning with "d". My usual drivers are David, Danny and Donny. Have had a Demi and a Dale before too. How very strange.

    I had a Daryl the other day.

    Mine could both be variations on !!!!!! I suppose...

    Your Currys PCW order will be delivered today by Richard, your DPD driver.

    Your ASOS order will be delivered today by Cox, your DPD driver.

    So agree. Ours is/used 2 B Timon. So polite - he brings our approved food orders.

    And Dave knocked on our front door at 12:38 - bang in the middle of the delivery slot.

    That means you may get it this side of Christmas 2015, but thrown over the garden fence/wall

    I've not actually had any issues with my local Yodel. The ones I used to hate getting were ParcelFarce who I swore used Ninjas to slip "Sorry you were out" cards through the letterbox the moment I decided to take a dump. Even they don't seem bad here though.

    I had a 10:29 to 11:29 window last week. Arrived not long after 10:30, just a shame they were 2 days late! The tracker just kept saying my parcel had been delayed until the morning they finally decided to deliver. You don't say...
