Eek! I sent mine down by normal post, the track and trace said they had arrived last week.

I suspect that there might be some they have missed adding to that list as I dropped my beers around there myself over a week ago and mine are not on the list either...

Yeah I'm hoping it's just a mix up!

After a BLOODY cold couple of hours at the coolstore today I learned a few things about home brewers and being part of organising an NHBC.... (please take this as my sick sense of humour, not a whinge or bleat)

1. Many of us do not know our own name or address as many boxes arrived without return sender information.

2. Some have bubble wrap fetishes.

4. Many have packaging tape fetishes... even a craft knife had issues getting into boxes.

3. Those without the above fetishes have WAY too much faith in the postal / courier services to add packaging around their bottles (Chuck Norris type faith).

4. Some Cantabrians still think a NHBC is a reason to have a crate party... (two full ones!)

5. Don't go to a coolstore in shorts with a shaved head... ever.

6. Submission numbers need to be on the outside of the box (or I need to wear pants and a hat).

7. You can play tetris unloading and loading PALLETS (yes PALLETS) of home brew.

8. You can put beer bottles in some really weird shaped boxes / containers, even ones that look like giant Toberlone!
