Maybe, but in my mind's eye you're frothing at the mouth and mashing at a keyboard like a mong on poppers.

tony, there's a tradition on here of picking up on grammar/spelling errors and deliberatly missing the point the poster was trying to get across.

If you know you'll have problems with either spellign or grammar can I suggest you;

1) use enable spell checking on your browser to pick stuff up.
2) put some sort of disclaimer on your posts if you think there might be issues.

It's a pain but if it upsets you when people pick you up on stuff then you need to try and avoid it.

No one *means* it - they're just having 'a laugh'.

Plus there's been a lot of 'crc are crap' threads in the past few days an dpeople might be getting a bit bored of them which won't help.

That told them.

Anyway 2 answers to your question

A) if your item is in the "other" warehouse, it'll be longer
B) it comes via royal mail so thats random.

So a random amount of time, made randomly longer if a) applied is my real experience with crc this year.

wow, steady on there watsontony... you need to relax a little bit. your typing style (not spelling) does come across as slightly stressed to say the least.

friday hopefully.

Probabaly wise to take the advice [b]wwaswas[/b] is offering on board as it can be pretty unforgiving in here, especially when grammar is involved!

To answer your OP it will indeed be a random amount of time as others have mentioned. Though from my expereince if you worry about it turing up for the weekend it wont, if you don't it will.

You might want to go easy on the language as well. Some of us could easily offended by such profanity.

I have no knowledge of dyslexia and I'm not the best with spelling. Does the condition just impact spelling or does it also include grammar and punctuation?

I remember my old boss was dyslexic and not a popular chap. He kept finding copies of that research which said there was no such thing as dyslexia, people were just lazy. No idea if it's true or not, we just used to like winding him up.

onza dog. for me it means i sometimes miss things out, or maybe sometimes put letters in from the next word/sentance, and a total lack of spelling ability. so i just say it how it sounds, im norhtern so we miss announce a lot of words anyway so spelling how it sounds does not help much, thanks for the advice waswas. and yes i know its not a personal insult but it does anoy me.

I am also dyslexic, it is not something I use as an excuse for laziness. If you know your spelling and grammar is poor, then use a spell checker.

Too many people use "I'm dyslexic" as an excuse. Being poor at spelling does not mean you are dyslexic and vice versa if you have it you can learn to spell correctly.
