I tried to order a divan base from a firm in London.
They replied that:-

Hello, thank you for shopping with us. Sorry but we don't deliver to your area (please check delivery policy). We will cancel you order. Your payment has been issued in to your paypal account.
Thank you



Their delivery policy:-

Item location: london, London, United Kingdom
Postage to: United Kingdom

I wonder where they think Cumbria is? :-?

Dear j-furniture,

As I live in Cumbria in the North of England, I assumed I was not excluded. Please do clarify.

With that sort of attitude I expect they charge extra for going outside the M25.

I'm working in London again now so end up reading the Evening Standard coming home on the train. It's certainly interesting to see just how self-obsessed a place London is. National news covers the home counties and I suspect events in Cumbria would have to be covered by a foreign correspondent complete with a smog tank to help them breathe when surrounded by all that fresh air

Back with front wheel drive and 181HP at the wheels :)
