The cake tins from Hong Kong, noticed at reference 1, turned up a few days ago, maybe two weeks after ordering them. Wrapped in a large plastic bag and with a ticket suggesting that they had been dispatched from Oldham, near Manchester. This ticket was stuck on top of another ticket, also addressed to me, but which included the phrases 'United Kingdom' and 'Zip code'. And a second pair of bar codes, the translation of one of which included the suffix 'HZ'. Had the tins really come from Hong Kong, but via a distribution centre up north?
Not tins however as they were made of thin aluminium, and by the time they had got to Epsom they had acquired a couple of small dents. But I think they will serve the purpose well and I will report further in due course, probably tomorrow, scheduled for the next batch.
