A thought for you to ponder for a while.
I ordered some books from Amazon.co.uk yesterday morning. They arrived this morning just a few minutes ago. No problem there quite normal but having tracked the progress of the package I am amazed at the speed. It apparently left Glasgow this a.m. at 07.26 and arrived here in Lincolnshire at 10:08. So how far is it from Glasgow to here and what would be the required speed of a Transit van down the M6, M62, M18, M180 etc to get here in 2 hours and 42 minutes. The van must have an amazing nitrous system, several turbos, superchargers etc etc and an effective radar system. Plus of course factor in an obligatory tea break, pit stop over the Pennines...... he must have been flying :-) Or the parcel tracking system is telling porkies :-)
