The original Bedlam was on the south bank of the Thames, somewhere near where Borough Market is today. That was a mental hospital and it's name was reckoned to be a corruption of Bethlehem.
The Poltimore Arms is an 'experience' for those who stumble upon it unawares.

Well that's a lie because Hermes are doing non contact deliveries. No signatures are required, or asked for.Ahhhh Hermes - Your parcel has been delivered and signed for by a member of your household 12.36pm
Yeah right
They may have thrown it in a porch somewhere, but whereabouts is anyone's guess.
I was waiting for an Amazon delivery last week. Watching the countdown I was next on the list. Watching the road the van went straight past.
Email arrived telling me it had been delivered. So it might, but it still hasn't turned up.
I got a refund, after a bit of an argument.

Same here.
Makes life easy for everyone. I don't have to mess about re-arranging delivery, Driver does not have to make another journey.
Not sure if this is true, but, I was told, by a Hermes driver, they only get paid, when parcel is delivered.

Yes. That's true for all couriers. That explains why they never want to come back.

Well that turned out OK. First hour got very wet, next hour dried out quite nicely, arrived at the cafe to be greeted by the lovely Charlie who is always genuinely pleased to see us. Coffee, bacon and egg barm before setting off in the sunshine for 40 miles to home. Another 63 miles ticked off.
Now I have a major problem guys. This is serious, I mean VERY serious. Mrs P has started going to shops again. Yesterday was the garden centre, today it was a "few things I needed." For example we are now the proud owners of a low, small, circular, wheeled platform. Go on, guess. Hmmmm??? That's right. One stands an outdoor planted container on it so one can move it around when wants to!!!!!!!
I should have contained my mirth.......
