A while ago I put a shoutout for a Rega Nut.
Big thanks to Supergrand for taking the effort to get to the post office and sending one to me gratis!
Big fail to the Post Office for taking so long to get it me (and someone inspected it along the way - they musta looked. Thought WTF and put it back)...
Have a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed#Examples_of_different_speeds
Now, the nut took an average of 16km/h (3.5 days) to get to Slaapstad from PTA. Not bad. In fact, for the pos kantoor, better than expected.
But to get from my post office to my post box (The notification slip) quite literally took the speed of a snail. 0.004km/h or 1 millimeter per second. That is right, 6 days to go 625m...
Thank goodness it wasn't continental drift time: 4 cm/year
All's well, ends well. I got it. Thanks again to Supergrand.
