OK, sorry. I do always feel like I'm putting people out with this though, so it's hard not to take it like that, especially when you've mentioned it a few times. Both you an Panty ended up spending more than you'd planned for different reasons related to posting here, and I don't want to end up being a drag.yourfavouriteuncle wrote:Whoa there!

Same with sending to any foreign country, I believe. But anyway, I think I should withdraw from this after all. I don't want to cause any more problems.yourfavouriteuncle wrote:I just don’t want that £45 postage to Cyprus again tbh.
I know you didn't mean it like that, but when I'm already worried that I'm putting people out, it only adds to the feeling. Even if you're completely OK with it, I feel shit that you had to spend that much because you wouldn't have had to for anyone else.yourfavouriteuncle wrote:Weirdly, mine got there really quickly. As speedy as anywhere else overseas. The mince pies were smashed up but that was shit packing on my half. I didn’t realise that Jon saw the postage thing as a personal jibe - i honestly found it hilarious when I came back from the post office having spent such an amount on postage. It’s not his fault the Cypriot postal system works the way it does. Anyway, I’ll leave it well alone now. Sorry again Jon.
