On the Wednesday my local newsagent said they had not been sent enough Posts by the distributer - the order was for 10 and they'd only sent 9.

Considering that A} I saw the order list when I put in my order, and it was more than 9 then... and that B} They usually get about 4/5 RPs for general sale, I concludied that the harridan had sold my RP to some feckless git who'd forgotten to order one.

I didn't drive down for it till 12.15...
