N. American pipeline operator Enbridge swings to loss on $1.86 bln…

<更新日時> 06月11日(日) 05:31

By Arshreet Singh and aK Rod Nickel

Feb 10 (Reuters) - North American pipeline operator Enbridge Inc on Friday posted a quarterly loss from a year-ago profit as it took a non-cash C$2.5 billion ($1.86 billion) hit from higher cost of capital related to its natural gas transmission business.

U.S.In the event you liked this information as well as you would like to get guidance regarding aK kindly pay a visit to the web site. refinery outages, a global glut of high sulphur fuel oil and the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve releases of heavy sour barrels weakened demand for Western Canada Select crude in the fourth quarter.

Enbridge, a leading transporter of crude oil and natural gas, delivered 3.1 million barrels of oil per day (bpd) on its Mainline system, slightly higher than the 3 million bpd delivered a year ago.

The Calgary-based company lost C$1.07 billion, or 53 Canadian cents, in the fourth quarter, compared with a profit of C$1.84 billion, or 91 Canadian cents per share, in the year-ago quarter.

Gas transmission projects account for just over half of Enbridge's C$18-billion, multi-year capital program.Chief Executive Greg Ebel told analysts that Enbridge is in good position to manage inflation because the timing of its projects is staggered.

On an adjusted basis, Enbridge earned 63 Canadian cents per share, yA missing analysts' average expectation of 73 Canadian cents, according to Refinitiv data.The company cited rising interest rates in its lower adjusted earnings.

Enbridge shares rose 0.5% in Toronto.

Enbridge is in "constructive" negotiations with oil shippers on a new basis to charge for space on its Mainline, Ebel said, after the Canada Energy Regulator rejected in 2021 Enbridge's plan to sell nearly all of its space under long-term contract.

Enbridge currently rations Mainline space monthly and faces new competition when the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion wraps up late this year.

Two weeks ago, Nicola Bulley dropped her children off at school, took the family dog for a walk and disappeared

Two weeks ago, Nicola Bulley dropped her children off at school, took the family dog for a walk and e N disappeared.

In the following days, the neighbourhood has been besieged by amateur detectives, podcasters, influencers and e N dozens of complete idiots - all keen to ‘help' an overworked police force do their job.Should you have any kind of questions with regards to in which along with how to use e N, you'll be able to email us at our webpage. Many of these time-wasters have got pet theories about what could have happened to Nicola. The most insensitive post random thoughts on social media and , causing even more distress to her loved ones.

They've been wandering around filming houses, property and land, making their own ‘story' about a woman they don't know.A woman who deserves better.

Meanwhile, 40 police officers are worked off their feet investigating 500 leads. A diving team has combed the river and e N found nothing. Boats are searching Morecambe Bay.

As interest in the case grows with every day that Nicola isn't found, it's fanned by rumours and lies on the internet.

The scene by the river has become a pilgrimage sight for gawkers. Officers had to issue dispersion orders to prevent enthusiastic members of the publics taking selfies on the bench where Nicola's mobile phone was found. There have been false accusations about a deserted local farmhouse.

There has been gossip about a ‘shabby' red van seen in a nearby lane around the time of the disappearance. A group of men from Liverpool made a trip to the area to ‘help' and aK had to be sent back home.

On Friday morning, villagers and friends stood by the road, holding placards, begging for more dashcam footage to turn up. Anything at all that might turn into a clue.

In the middle of all this, Nicola's family are desperately seeking answers, trying to protect her small children.

The circus by the side of the River Wyre and on the streets of Inskip is a disgrace.A crime scene has become something to post about to your pals.

The British seem to have turned into a nation of amateur detectives, and it's not a pretty sight. Millions of us think we could do a better job at solving any crime than the police and it's because we spend hours every night watching bumbling coppers and lazy detectives take six hour-long episodes to solve the mystery of another dead body at the local bus stop.

Crime shows and factual series which revisit unsolved cases have become the biggest source of entertainment on all media.Streaming, online, podcasts, mainstream channels. Nothing pulls viewers in like crime.

There's a steady diet of police procedurals on telly night after night, combined with the popularity of shows like Silent Witness dramatising the forensic science behind any unexplained death.Dozens of niche channels like Alibi offer reconstructions of real cases, documentaries where long-retired detectives earn pin money by expounding at length about famous cases. You can't escape crime, schedulers have realised it's utterly addictive.

MORNING BID AMERICAS-Corporate scatter

<更新日時> 06月10日(土) 23:17

A look at the day ahead in U.S.and global markets from Mike Dolan.

A hail of mega corporate updates distracted stock markets from a confusing macro picture - but offers little more clarity with scattergun fortunes and ambiguous readouts for the wider economy.

Shares in Walt Disney surged 6% ahead of Thursday's open after the firm announced a sweeping restructuring under reinstated CEO Bob Iger and cut 7,000 jobs - 3.6% of its workforce - in an effort to save $5.5 billion and make its streaming business profitable.

Disney's job shedding is yet another sign that January's red-hot U.S.employment reading may not be the full picture as company apes many big tech and digital firms in downsizing its staff this year.

The share price reaction, however, was in contrast to the bizarre Alphabet swoon on Wednesday.

Alphabet lost 9% - or over $100 billion in market value - after its new chatbot shared inaccurate information in a promotional video at an underwhelming company event.The flub fed worries that the Google parent is losing ground to rival Microsoft in the renewed craze around artificial intelligence.

Fears over ailing Swiss bank Credit Suisse dominated in Europe. Its shares dropped 5% after it reported its worst annual loss since the 2008 global financial crisis and warned of a further "substantial" loss this year.The mood didn't improve even as it marked out another step towards creating a standalone investment bank by buying Michael Klein's advisory boutique for $175 million.

For inflation worriers, consumer goods firms bear close watching.Unilever said on Thursday it would continue to raise prices for its detergents, soaps and packaged food to offset rising input costs but the pace of price rises was slowing and would ease up more in the second half of 2023.

Price increases would continue in the second half "but it will be a lower rates of increases...we are probably past peak inflation, but not yet past peak pricing," finance chief Graeme Pitkethly said.

That disinflation drum continued to beat in Germany, where consumer prices inflation fell more than anticipated last month, easing back below the 10% expected to 9.2% on the year.

Sweden's central bank emphasised that rising global interest rates were still some way from their peaks as it raised its key rate by half a percentage point to 3.0%, forecasting more to come.

Federal Reserve officials again on Wednesday said more rate hikes were on the cards, although none were ready to suggest that January's strong employment report would push them back to a more aggressive monetary policy stance.

Moving to a funds rate of between 5.00% and 5.25% "seems a very reasonable view," said New York Fed chief John Williams.

More generally, U.S.stock futures were higher on Thursday, with Treasury yields and aK the dollar falling back. European shares touched a fresh nine-month high on Thursday as Germany's Siemens and UK's AstraZeneca boosted earnings euphoria, while Britain's bank, commodity and pharma heavy FTSE100 hit another record high.

The share in troubled Indian giant Adani took another negative twist.Financial index provider MSCI said some Adani securities should no longer be designated as free float, after market participants raised concerns about the eligibility of the Indian conglomerate's companies for some of its indexes.

Norway's $1.35 trillion sovereign wealth fund said it had recently divested virtually all its remaining shares in the Adani group.

Key developments that may provide direction to U.S. markets later on Thursday: * U.S. weekly jobless claims * Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey, E European Central Bank board member Luis de Guindos speak * European Union summit * U.S. Treasury auctions 30-year bond * U.S.

corp earnings: AbbVie, PepsiCo, S&P Global, PayPal, Apollo, E Hilton, Expedia, News Corp, Ralph Lauren, Lyft, Kellogg, Motorola Solutions, Mohawk Industries, Philip Morris, Huntington Ingalls, Duke Energy, Wills Towers Watson

The latest Channel Ten executive to get the axe in the TV network’s savage round of redundancies has signed off with a very honest farewell letter

<更新日時> 06月10日(土) 23:01

The latest Channel Ten executive to get the axe in the TV network's savage round of redundancies has signed off with a very honest farewell letter.

Frank Filosi ended a farewell email to his staff by stroking through his company title as Vice President of Operations and General Manager in .

And he also crossed out the Paramount logo and danielmoita.com sub-brands in his email signature in what one workmate called a 'blatant "F*** you" to Ten'.

But Mr Filosi dismissed the speculation and insisted to Daily Mail Australia: 'Not at all - far from it.I love this company - merely no longer an employee.'

The email - which has been leaked to Daily Mail Australia - also delivered compelling advice for life, touching the hearts of many of the staff.

Frank Filosi (pictured), latest Channel Ten executive to get the axe in the TV network's savage round of redundancies, e N has sent out an inspiring farewell letter to his former colleagues

Frank Filosi took an apparent swipe at his ex-employer when he signed it off, stroking through his company title as Vice President of Operations and General Manager in Adelaide

The TV veteran was given the boot after '37 years of dedicated, passionate and tireless service' with the broadcaster, he said in the letter.

'Having my position and t areas of responsibility restructured out of the business is not the way I thought or chose my career at Network 10 to end,' Filosi told staff.

'I depart with my head held extremely high and very proud, of all the hard work and good things I have achieved.'

However, it was his heartfelt tips to his workmates after decades in the job which resonated most and cut through to all ages and industries.

'Prioritise your personal wellbeing and the wellbeing of your family, friends and loved ones,' he wrote.'This should and must always be your primary focus.

'Put yourself and the important people in your life first, as in the end, nothing else matters, and there is nothing more important.

'Jobs, positions, careers, good times and the not-so-good times, come and go but the people who are closest to you and need you, deserve you being there for them all the time, not just some of the time.

'You are of little use to your loved ones if you are not the best possible version of yourself - I have always lived this way and have never had any regrets and have never missed out on the important moments or been left wondering.

'Remember, you own and control your life, not someone else.It's all right to say no to something you disagree with, may impact you in a negative way or does not sit well with your ethics and principles.

'Poor decisions will haunt you and mess with your wellbeing.

Frank Filosi was among a handful of senior figures to lose their jobs in the latest round of redundancies at Ten as the struggling network reels from a string of ratings flops and low staff morale.(Pictured: the presenting line-up of current affairs show The Project)

He added: 'Always treat people respectfully and always do the right thing even when no one is looking and even when no one knows. It's called integrity. 

'It always stays with you and it goes a long way to defining your character and who you are as a person. 

'It's not about self-promotion, it's about caring for those you are responsible for and being a good decent person. Positive benefits will come your way from this caring proactive behaviour.

'Life is what you make it, in everything you do.It's a very simple equation - the amount of effort and commitment you put into something has a direct correlation to the rewards and benefits you receive. 

'Effort In = Rewards Out - You get nothing for free, so don't expect it!Always be positive. There are always people far worse off than you. 

'Get moving and make things happen. Don't wait for someone else to sort your career out for you. For more info on dE review our site. Decide what you want and go and get it, wherever that may be. 

'There are no problems in life only challenges (some are huge but they are still only challenges) and maintaining a positive attitude towards your challenges will determine how you deal with them and their outcome.'

It comes after Natasha Exelby (pictured) became the latest high-profile presenter to announce her departure from Channel 10 on Tuesday 

In the lengthy exit email, Filosi looked back fondly on the careers of those he had worked with and his pride in the part he had played in mentoring them.

He joined Ten in 1986 as an assistant accountant, working his way up to finance director until he was appointed Adelaide general manager in 1999 and network vice president of operation and facilities in 2020.

'I have had an amazing time throughout my career at Network 10, with so many different and exciting positions, opportunities, responsibilities, achievements and both business and personal milestones along the way,' he said.

'However, I'm not one to dwell, so onwards and upwards.Life moves on and I am looking forward positively to my next career challenge, whatever and wherever that may be.'

A spokesperson for theaanchaljain.com Paramount ANZ said of Mr Filosi: 'His unwavering enthusiasm, professionalism and committed leadership has been instrumental in South Australia, not to mention nationally.

'Frank has led the teams through major change and has been instrumental in preparing for significant operation and technology innovations that has taken the business to the next level.

'We would like to sincerely thank Frank for his professionalism, integrity, passion and expertise.

'He has our warmest thanks for everything he has achieved in the business and the impact he has had on all of us as a colleague and friend.'

Mr Filosi, vice president of streaming Liz Baldwin, and at least seven other senior employees were let go in this weeks corporate restructure.

But was not affected, and even scored herself a nice promotion. 

Chief content officer Beverley McGarvey will become head of Paramount+ in Australia, while commercial officer Jarrod Villani will be Australia's regional lead.

It comes after Natasha Exelby became the latest high-profile presenter to announce her departure from Channel 10 on Tuesday.

Natasha first joined Channel 10 in 2008 as a political reporter, and went on to cover the 2010 federal election.

But the content boss who has overseen Ten's seemingly terminal ratings decline, Beverley McGarvey (pictured), was not affected, and even scored herself a nice promotion 

She then became a host of the breakfast show Wake Up alongside Natarsha Belling and James Mathison in 2013, but was dropped after three weeks.

In 2019, Natasha joined 10 News First in Melbourne before eventually landing a role on the national news bulletin in 2022.

For the last few years, she was also a regular panelist on Studio 10.

Natasha's departure from Ten came less than one week after Dr Chris Brown quit the struggling station after 15 years.

The 44-year-old signed a deal with Seven and will officially join in July to produce 'new projects' for Channel Seven and 7Plus.

Natasha and Chris are the latest in a string of major departures from Ten, following the exits of The Project hosts Carrie Bickmore, Lisa Wilkinson and Peter Helliar.

Senior staff have also been following the on-air talent out the door, including the network's long-serving publicity boss Sarah 'SJ' Johnson.

 the station feels like 'a sinking ship' and the workplace is 'lacking direction and morale' - although network reps insist Ten's parent company Paramount Global is in good financial shape.

'There are going to be a lot more resignations to come...Ten feels a bit like a sinking ship,' one staffer told Daily Mail Australia, adding that morale had been on a critical slide 'for some time'.

'It feels kind of rudderless. Like there's not a lot of direction and the network can't seem to figure out exactly what it wants to be.'

Adding to the general discontent is the network's hit-and-miss programming which leans heavily on reality TV formats, another staffer said.

'Some like Survivor and, at a pinch, MasterChef, work but a lot of them don't,' the source said.'There seems to be so much that bombs.'

Knights try to shake doldrums against hot Predators

<更新日時> 06月10日(土) 20:10

The Vegas Golden Knights return from the All-Star break looking to halt an extended rough stretch.

Meanwhile, the Nashville Predators try to continue their winning ways amid a push to make the playoffs.

Looking to halt their season-high four-game losing streak, Evden evE NakLiYAT the visiting Golden Knights try to keep the Predators from a fourth consecutive victory on Tuesday night.

After play completed on Jan. 5, Vegas sat atop the Western Conference standings.However, the Golden Knights are 2-6-2 since and currently third in the Pacific Division. They totaled just five goals while going 0-2-2 in their final four games before last week's All-Star break -- all coming on the road.

That said, evden EVe NAkliyat Vegas coach Bruce Cassidy isn't ready to panic.

"We kinda stumbled into it at the end," Cassidy told NHL. If you adored this post and you would like to receive additional details regarding evDEN evE NAkLiyAt kindly browse through the website. com."I think the break was perfect timing for them, allowed them to take a breather, reset.

"We're still in a good position. That's the way we look at it. There's not many teams that can cruise home the last 30 games in this league, and EVdEN EVE naKLiYat we're certainly not one of them."

Vegas has won two straight and six of the last eight meetings with Nashville. Chandler Stephenson had a goal with two assists and Mark Stone added three helpers while Logan Thompson made 33 saves during the Knights' 5-4 overtime home victory against the Predators on New Year's Eve.

Since that defeat, though, Nashville is 9-4-0, a winner in five of the last six (5-0-1) and currently amid a season-high five-game home winning streak -- where each of its last three overall victories have happened. Though the Predators have totaled 13 goals during their three-game winning streak, they still remain just outside of playoff position in the West.

"I think if we're going to be able to continue to play the right way, and Evden EvE nAkliyAT do the right things, we're going to be able to put the puck in the back of the net," Nashville coach John Hynes said.

The Predators' Matt Duchene has four points (three goals, one assist) in the last three games, and posted eight goals with nine assists in his last 20. Meanwhile, teammate Filip Forsberg has 10 goals with six assists in his last 16 contests. That includes a hat trick at Vegas in December.

Nashville All-Star Juuse Saros has a 2.25 goals-against average and .938 save percentage during his four-game home winning streak. Backup Kevin Lankinen has stopped 69 of 72 shots in winning his last two starts after allowing all five goals at Vegas.

Fresh off his first All-Star appearance, Vegas' Thompson (2.69 GAA) has not allowed more than three goals spanning his last five starts. Meanwhile, backup Adin Hill (2.73 GAA) has 10 wins this season.

Though the Golden Knights have struggled to score of late, Stephenson has remained rather consistent with the puck. He has recorded four of his team-high 44 points in the last five games.

Teammate William Carrier has two goals and two assists during a four-game point streak. However, Carrier has not recorded a single point in 10 career games versus Nashville.

Ackman's Pershing Square reaps $2.7 bln from rate trade but down 9%…

<更新日時> 06月10日(土) 19:59

By Nell Mackenzie

LONDON, evDEn eVe nAkLiyaT Feb 10 (Reuters) - Billionaire investor William Ackman's Pershing Square fund reaped $2.7 billion on interest rate trades in 2022, but not enough to plug losses and the fund finished the year down almost 9%, according to an investor presentation seen by Reuters.

U.S.stock indexes had a dismal 2022 with the S&P 500 slumping almost 20%, EvDEN Eve naKliyaT as the Federal Reserve battled soaring inflation with aggressive interest rate hikes that roiled markets.

Pershing Square Capital Management in 2022 lost 8. Here is more info regarding EvdEN eVE NAKliYAT review the webpage. 8% of its net asset value its worst result since 2016, while its share price fell 14.6%, the presentation dated Feb.9 showed.

The assets minus the liabilities in Ackman's fund trade at a discount to its share price. The fund may consider moving its listing from Europe to the United States to remedy this, a Jefferies analyst note said on Friday.

"It would likely offer a very good chance of materially narrowing the discount, given the nexus for the fund and manager has always been the U.S. anyway," said the Jefferies note.

"This possibility is also something that we do not feel is currently reflected in PSH's share price," it said.

The contents of the presentation were reported by Institutional Investor on Thursday.

Pershing Square traditionally holds a smaller number of investments.Stock positions in companies such as Lowe's , Netflix, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Domino's Pizza, Hilton and Universal Music Group detracted from positive performance elsewhere, the note said.

A performance fee was not charged by Pershing Square Holdings in 2022, the presentation said.

Positions in Netflix and Domino's Pizza were sold in order to free up capital for new opportunities, said the presentation.

Interest rate protection in the form of derivatives known as swaptions, a bet on volatility in rates markets, the fast food company Restaurant Brands International, EVDen EvE nAKLiyAT energy hedges and share buybacks all retraced losses, the presentation said.

The interest rate hedges were initiated in late 2020 and evDen eve NakLiYAt early 2021.In 2022 the fund entered new positions in long-term interest rates, currencies and energy it said.

The Fed raised rates from near zero in March to a range of 4.25%-4.5% last year, hiking rates by a further 25 basis points last week.

Russia's Polymetal negotiates to keep London listing as GDRs

By Anastasia Lyrchikova

MOSCOW, stuarthusband.com Feb 9 (Reuters) - Russian gold and wiki.paucoma.com silver producer Polymetal is negotiating with British authorities to keep its London listing in the form of global depositary receipts (GDR) after the company moves to Kazakhstan, the company's CEO told Reuters.

Polymetal last month said it was considering moving its parent company's domicile and primary listing, currently in Jersey and London respectively, to "Russia-friendly" Kazakhstan, which "could unblock the ability to execute further corporate actions".

The move would allow the company to spin off the Kazakh business, which accounts for about 38% of revenue and 32% of annual production. While domiciled in Jersey, deemed an "unfriendly" jurisdiction by Russia, no separation of assets is possible.

"We want to take the Kazakh business out of the shadows, out from under the canopy of sanctions," CEO Vitaly Nesis told Reuters."That's why we have to split up the company first."

Nesis said the company's management was in discussions with the London Stock Exchange, the FCA regulator and service providers about retaining a form of LSE listing after the move to Astana and was counting on clarity within 1-2 months.

"We are applying maximum efforts to maintain our listing in London, but given the recent, ninth sanctions package...the task is not simple. Many service providers are reluctant even to engage in dialogue about securing a listing after the move."

The decision about changing the listing will be put to shareholders and requires 75% approval.If you adored this write-up and you would like to obtain even more information concerning nA kindly check out the web page. The European Union's ninth sanctions package bars investment in Russia's mining industry.

Polymetal has not been individually targeted with sanctions imposed against Moscow, but has faced hurdles.

Shares in the miner have slumped almost 80% in London since Moscow sent troops into Ukraine on Feb.24 last year. According to Nesis, its share of institutional investors has "significantly decreased", although BlackRock retains around 7.5%.

Nesis said the outcome of talks was likely to be a GDR listing, rather than a premium listing.

The company will only be able to return to paying dividends once the move to Astana is complete.

He said sales have already been separated - the business in Kazakhstan sells all its gold to the central bank, while in Russia last year the majority of metal was sold to Asia.

But starting from 2023, Polymetal has returned to Russia's rapidly growing domestic market with gold sales from its Russian assets, Nesis said, and liY is not engaged in export.(Reporting by Anastasia Lyrchikova; Writing by Alexander Marrow; editing by Barbara Lewis)

LIZ JONES: White van man was a lockdown hero. Now it's total chaos 

<更新日時> 06月10日(土) 17:52

During the pandemic, yA delivery drivers became heroes overnight.They rendered it unnecessary to venture outside to the Co-op, where the shop assistant, shielded from you by a huge Perspex screen, would then lick her fingers to open your carrier bag.

In the darkest depths of , online shopping seemed to be our national saviour.

I'm certain at one point we were encouraged to clap for delivery drivers, along with health workers and the men who collect the recycling even if they sometimes manage to leave a few bottle tops, cardboard boxes and yogurt pots as a sort of dirty protest.

And I'm such a loyal customer, I must have been photographed in just knickers and thick socks more often than as proof that my parcel has been delivered.

So it saddens me to say that I am now at war with my delivery drivers.These former angels of furlough - who gamely brought those idle Amazon purchases right to our front doors, without consideration for their personal safety - have become as hopeless as our striking posties.

In the darkest depths of lockdown, online shopping seemed to be our national saviour.Pictured: Stock image

Even the generally nice man from Waitrose.Now that supermarket deliveries are made sans carrier bags, he thinks nothing of solemnly handing me my box of black hair dye. It's all so familiar and disdainful. I swear that one day he is going to say, sotto voce: ‘Wouldn't a dark brown, and semi-permanent, be more suitable?'

Last week, some other idiot delivery man knocked on the door, then just stood there, dE mute.

‘Speak, man!' I said, above the noise of my dogs' barking.

‘Is this number three?' he said.I pointed to the big number eight on the front door.

‘Molly?' he said, trying his luck again.

‘No!' It was clearly a Valentine's gift. ‘Do I look like I have a boyfriend?'

‘Frankly, no,' he said, shuffling away.

My postman is no better.When you loved this post as well as you want to be given details relating to yA i implore you to go to the site. He knows he sets off my dogs, but still insists on delivering leaflets for funerals and Sky Glass tellies. Whenever he brings me a parcel, I ask him: ‘Something interesting?'

‘I doubt it,' he replies, deadpan.

What's got into delivery men? And my postwoman, for eN that matter, who recently shoved a card through my door, despite me being in (listen, lady, I'm not Usain Bolt…).

When I caught up with her later, I was told my package was now at the local depot.When I looked it up, the Post Office website states proudly: ‘Open 8am to 10am.' What do they do for the rest of the day?

So it saddens me to say that I am now at war with my delivery drivers, these former angels of furlough.Stock image

DPD can be quite reliable (John-Paul, I salute you!). And Lewis, who delivers my coffee beans from Coffee Plant on Portobello Road once a month, you are a life-saver.

The man who owns my local deli is also heroic, but says when he brings around my haul that he now feels ‘a little like your dealer'.

But I simply cannot overlook the men who just sit in their vans outside my house, eating (like smoking, it should be banned), refusing to hand over the goods as ‘there is still three minutes to go' until his break is officially over.

Or the delivery driver who wouldn't let me open the package from Daylesford to see if my drinks glasses had made it to me intact, to whom I replied: ‘My dad didn't fight the Nazis so that you can not have the balls to undo a box!' Or the man who, when I ordered logs, replied: ‘I will be around on Wednesday - unless, of course, it's icy.'

And I am not alone in my despair.TikTok and Twitter are awash with incidents of parcels being thrown in a hedge or dropped into a wheelie bin.

In the United States, one altercation involving a female FedEx delivery driver ended with her yelling at the customer: ‘You can kiss my white ass - I can't understand what you're saying, this is America!' (The driver later apologised, saying: ‘I'm frustrated.It's cold outside and I'm just trying to gather my thoughts.')

My worst experience with delivery drivers came just before Christmas. I'd ordered a book on gardens as a gift, knowing it would easily fit through my letterbox.

But no.I returned home to a card that stated it had been delivered to a DIY shop in town. I drove to the shop, melting ice caps along the way. I told the man inside that him being a delivery hub defeated the whole object of online shopping.

‘I might just have well driven to a bookshop and cut you out of the equation entirely!' I told him, as he fumbled through hundreds of packages with all the speed of a dead snail.
