On Monday afternoon I ordered some maggots for next day delivery. As it was late in the afternoon I was expecting them to be delivered by Wednesday (yesterday). By the evening it was obvious that no maggots were going to appear.
I got back on to the retailer's site to find out what was happening only to discover my maggots were sitting in my basket awaiting payment. Grrr! I have no idea what went wrong, I remember clearly paying for them, so I checked my PayPal account only to find no money had been taken. Clearly something had gone wrong. I am not blaming the company, it was probably my fault, but now I have just had to go and buy some maggots from the tackle shop for tomorrow and Saturday's trips.
It dawned on me that if I was prepared to buy bulk by mail order, I could buy bulk at the tackle shop resulting in the maggot-miles being much lower and making it all worth while. It also meant I could look at all the very nice rods they have on display... I know I don't need any more rods, but what has 'need' got to do with it? I resisted the temptation, this time!
Maybe I should mail order the maggots after all.
