Living in London

During one of my interviews at Netlix here in the UK we were discussing the lowered expectations of the average British citizen. It turns out that all shipping addresses are validated against the Royal Mail database. Apparently, this database is fraught with errors. Most Brits believe there is only a 50% chance that an online order will be correctly delivered to their home.

I gave credence to this state of disarry this week. I ordered a USB Hub from the Linksys distributor in the UK. Yesterday the web site said that the package had been delivered. Unfortunately it wasn't delivered to me.

When I called today the only part of the delivery address they had right was 4 Walnut Court. The rest of the address was for a flat on the other side of town. I am still waiting to find out where my hardware is.
