Stupid eBay question time

Cheers dave

Paula is also putting a buffet on

ANYWAY,
The Chinese dude replied this morning:

I am so sorry, we can only accept the paypal payment.
The warehouse don't have the picking-up service.
We sent the item by DHL.
Thank you for your understanding.

^ That's because the warehouse is actually more commonly known as Jade Palace.

I might reply and say I don't mind picking it up from a local Chinese Restaurant.

They are probably using a fulfillment service.

AKA chinese takeaway back room.

Nah that's a shop now

Nope the Holybush is the pub up Dawlish Drive with the oatcake shop attached to it (although i think the oatcake shop is now closed)

Been the Holybush up Northwood many moons ago for a pool game.

I used to gig at The Hollybush for decades and never saw one bit of trouble in there.
I also used to live in Dawlish Drive for around a year in 1970 with an Aunty and my cousins.

That sounds a bit offensive.

Do elaborate.

I don't think it needs elaborating.

Not really, I believe it is a fact that a lot of these Chinese shops are using local Takeaways as a 'warehouse'. Perhaps you think they've all got business unit warehouses somewhere.
Not racist in the slightest, just good cheap business practice.

Maybe, but the way he worded it seemed extremely racist.

How was it racist exactly?

I was under the impression that means every Chinese person knows somebody in the takeaway business.

Good morning Captain Sensitive, 'extremely' is a little strong methinks.

What I find extremely offensive is being called a racist when something I said had nothing to do with race.

Heck, there is a chinese takeaway across the road with "Chinese Takeaway" lit up in big letters. That racist aswell?
