Cheval and delivery to Europe

[ralfpenkert]

Hmm, situation can be difficult.
Jan 4th i sent my smith speedo to Nottingham repair service.
Since Jan 7th its somewhere in a parcel force depot awaiting payment of custom charges.
Nobody is able to tell neither how to proceed nor what went wrong.
At least yesterday could read a change in tracking history - "delivery scheduled"
I'm curious how it ends.

Got mine yesterday. I like the gossip pages from the branches. Have to get over to Britain soon and have a dash around the ancestral home of so many of my bikes and visit some of you characters.

I am afraid that Cheval was rather late leaving the printer this month and I have heard that some copies of the December issue have only recently arrived in Australia. No doubt due to Chrismass, Covid, snow and ......

I got January Cheval a couple of days ago.

Hello Everyone!
Hopefully you will all get your issues on time this coming February.
I have to inform you that Ian Norris will no longer be producing the Cheval for us although he has done the bulk of the work on the Feb issue befor leaving for patures new.

I had an interesting chat with Ian, whilst discussing handover from him to his replacement and learned that the printing process lasts 5 days from receipt of the proof to leaving the building (in the capable hands of the Royal Mail) and that of these five day,s one is spent by the freshly printed paper drying sufficiently for it to be then cut, folded colated and stapled to form a magazine. I bet you always wanted to know that

I am glad that so many of you still enjoy your paper copy!
