Terrible experience with Retro Photographic. Don't know how to proceed. Help needed.

[AgX]

People frequently refer to "Britain" (or, say, "Grand-Bretagne") when they actually mean "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" (or "le Royaume-Uni de Grand-Bretagne et d'Irlande du Nord,") despite the fact they are two quite distinct constructs, but it's not as a rule something people get terribly exercised over.

People haven't learned bettter. I assume I'm one of the very, very few over here of my age who know about the designation `UK´. But only because I blasted my ears with BFBS. Don't do that any more though.

I sometimes flippantly term it 'The Untied Queendom' and sit back and enjoy the head-scratching that results... :-)

Amazing how APUG threads can suddenly morph and shoot off in truly bizarre fashions!

Not that I don't contribute to that phenomenon...

Where does the United bit come into the equasion?
We here residing to the West of Offers dyke dont see much unity, nor truth to tell want much.
When you pay proper prices for our water and wind we will talk united.

I believe there is a not inconsiderable amount of my taxed income you owe me; please forward your cheque payable to "PLEASE DON'T PROP US UP ANY MORE, LTD." to the following address:

Provinces Reimbursing Londoners Fund
112, Never Going to Happen
LONDON N0CH ANC3

On receipt of the cheque we'll discuss how much your wind is worth.



PS. It's spelt "Offa's". In both English and Welsh. You could probably apply for a rebate from the education system to offset the above payments, to be fair.

What has Offer's Dyke got to do with the OP's original post.

OK you can be forgiven, a little, Retro has moved to a sleepy hamlet close to Offa's Dyke near Oswetry.

I was being facetious. :rolleyes:

[Q.G.]

A kingdom may be united, even when the subjects are only united in things like having to lick the behind of the same sovereign's head when they want to sent mail.

Meanwhile, paper made in the UK of Great Britain and Northern Ireland still is european paper.

Anyone remember the OP?

Is it me or is this thread off topic?

To get back on topic.
I ordered some chemicals with retro on 13/01/09 and have not yet received them despite paying for first class delivery. I have mailed them and left phone messages and had no reply.
Has any one received any ordered goods from them in the last 7/10 days?
Regards,
John.
