“Hello all at Fittleworth, I wanted to say thank you so much for all your help over so many years now. You have helped me by always delivering on time, your delivery man always has a smile and some chat ready, of course I miss chat just now because I’m shielding and not able to answer the door. This unknown virus has turned our world and our lives upside down, who knows how long for. I want you to know I’ll always be grateful to your full team and will continue to bug you for as long as I can."
