"Good Morning

We are very sorry for the delay in getting the parts for you,
unfortunately our building had a major fire on the 15th January which
meant all stock was lost and we are slowly getting items back in. I will
see if we can get these parts expedited for you."

I SUPPOSE that is a reasonable excuse...

Yes, but I note you didn't specify a *true* reasonable excuse so if they
did likewise.......

well yes, that had occurred to me..


Its like the time Lorna someone or other at prep school hadn't learn her
part in the School Play.

Why?

"The parrot ate my script"!

Sure enough it had pecked the bejasus out of it. I often wondered if it
was 'assisted' to do that...

OTOH years and years later a friend had a parrot. It totally destroyed
the TV.

My son gained legendary status in his class at school for using the excuse
"the cat peed on it" when asked for his homework...

....whereupon he then produced said homework in a polythene bag. The teacher
declined, but did let him off any punishment.

We had a parrot at school in the biology class. It once got out and
attacked a tin of green paint overnight and the results were amazing.

A friend had a pet shop and kept back the runt of a litter of parrots
(defect in the beak) as his own pet. The thing was fine apart from a
tendency to go after these long worms that come out of appliances.

It added several more gaps to its beak before it learnt not to bite
through mains cables. Suffered no long term ill effects and lived to a
ripe old age (and indeed may still be going) not seen him for ages.

This is quite common. The owners keep the parrot in the living room to
one side of the television. They then tend to be the sort of people to
only watch the 10 o'clock news, Newsnight, Panorama, etc and the poor
old bird, unable to see things squarely, eventually becomes convinced
that everything has a left wing bias....

An excuse is, 'my goldfish ate my homework'.

If you want to chase a supplier in an non inflamatorysic way for a non
delivery then you need to ask them for a valid _reason_ why the delivery
has been delayed.

We are very sorry for the delay in getting the parts for you,
unfortunately our building had a major fire on the 15th January which
meant all stock was lost and we are slowly getting items back in. I will

I suppose that means delays on Miele Fridges & Freezers as well.

yes, I believe they do.

BUT that is only the UK Liebherr distro warehouse.

And Miele may have their own.

Heh, the only thing that "Liebherr" means to me is cranes.
Was wondering if TNP had ordered one to facilitate his spy-cam-up-a-tree
