Don't get me wrong Lidy. I have complete sympathy with them.
I hate the way TNT are going, both with regard to it's hard working and dedicated employees, and it's customer service.
Whilst e-mail and other electronic services have had some impact it is the introduction of the other two delivery services, with their appalling working terms and conditions, which result in a cheaper rate for businesses, which is really doing for TNT.
A friend of mine is due to be laid off by TNT after 20 years working part-time for them. She is too old to find another job easily and already getting depressed at the prospect of being unemployed.

Mondays were always a quiet day - post would be delivered in the afternoon rather than the morning. Now due to the totally c**p state of things here they will only deliver urgent post on Mondays (death announcements and the like).
We don't have any post offices any more, and the posties are threatening to go on strike now, due to the numbers due to be sacked.
All down to privatisation and opening up the market. We now have three companies delivering mail. Two pay their deliverers per piece they deliver, and only deliver two days a week, the other, TNT (which is the mail part of the former state owned Dutch Post and Telecom company), want to sack a load of full time employees and go to part-timers to be able to compete with the other two companies.
It is a real mess.
I just hope they don't strike until after my camera gets here.

You mean those were just plastic mock-ups designed to fool me at Photokina? Gwyn - I don't know why I should have to be the first one to tell you this - but the whole K5 thing is a spoof.- Doesn't exist - No such thing - just a rumor to wind you up. You should have hung onto your K20D
Chris wouldn't be that cruel.
I added an Optio RZ10 to the order too. In a tasteful lime green
No, that wedge is for men only. Girls won't be listening to their voice. trust me on this Stefan.
Good clip from TG.
I once tried a vibrating bed in a motel in the US. Waste of a quarter.

But apart from all that you are happy .
Were you a member when the great change occurred? It cost us members and a near riot. Not sure I, or the forum, could stand another change of format.
Whilst I don't mind some sections not being visible to lurkers, only to members, I don't like the idea of invitation only sections or pay to view sections.

Trouble with Amex is that it isn't widely accepted. The fees they charge the merchandiser are very high apparently so many places won't accept it.
My husband has an Amex connected to his KLM Flying Blue account. He uses it for business, but it is often not accepted and so the expenses go our Visa card .
