* The British express the upcoming date of 9th July as 09-07-2026 i.e. day, month, year (which is logical).
*Americans express it as 09-07-2026 i.e. month, day, year (which is not logical).
* My British vape supplier expresses it as 2026-09-07 i.e. year, day, month (which is not logical).
* Except they are called British American Tobacco plc so they may mean the 7th of September i.e. year, month, day (which is logical).
The difference for me is either a long productive life or expiration from nicotine starvation. Which would be more logical?

Order Details:

Chilled Mint Classic Flavour Pods
Quantity: 20 |
This would appear to clear up the date question but only at the cost of another ambiguity. As detailed here a few weeks ago (I like to keep you up to date on these matters) they have withdrawn my usual 18 mg/ml pod and replaced it, at my request, with a 20 mg/ml one. But I order them twenty at a time...

Popped in to check there are no issues, Mr Harper.
Low water pressure.
We'll have to do something about that. Anything else?
You agreed a safety grab rail on the stair is required.
So we did. I'll see it gets done. Anything else?
You agreed to put the two metal gadget holders back after retiling.
Yes, we did, didn't we? I'll put the wheels in motion.
They were concerned about the cistern lid not fitting properly.
Yes, I know. That'll be on the list, don't worry.
