Well, not really the internet, but mail order, anyway.
Last week, I found myself in need of a large amount of a certain yarn, and fairly quickly. I asked around, then bought from a place where I'd bought in person before. I called them to order on Monday and they said it should be with me by the end of the week. Well, it's now a week.
Where's my yarn?!
The thing is, it's not like a week is very long to wait when you order something. But in this case, I need to get this project knitted by early September. Even if that were not the case, once I've bought something, I want it now.
I could have bought similar yarn in London or Southampton. It would have cost probably twice as much. So now I'm left to wonder...would that extra money have been worth it to have had the extra week to knit it?
As someone said: You can have good and fast, or fast and cheap, or good and cheap, but not all three.
I want my fecking yarn!

Has your postie started delivering your mail wearing rather nice knitted accessories? ;-)
is a "postie" the person who delivers your mail?!? That's such a cute term! I'm so using that from now on!!
