Is it me?

I wonder if it is me or whether it happens to everybody.
When I purchased this car, I went and bought it off the web. So when I was thinking of getting another I contacted them.
I had selected the car I wished. A British Made Car, unfortunately I was informed that after some searches they found that the car I wished would not be available until after Jan 4th this year when VAT had been increased to 20%. They gave me a price anyway. I told them not to order the car. I immediately surfed the web, found another Company that supplied new cars. Told them what I wanted, they contacted me and once again informed me that this car would not be available until January 2011. They also gave me a price and it was just a little cheaper than the other supplier and it also had Air Conditioning so I ordered the car.
A couple of weeks ago I contacted them to ask when was the car likely to be ready. A couple of days later a phone call was made to me and they informed me that the Company had informed them that delivery was to be February 1st. I told him I was not pleased and considering this car was ordered in October last year, it was n wonder the economy was as it is. H then told me that it was late October and it may be here before February 1st. I can say with confidence that there is no chance to have the car by that date.
While I mention this is that this is British made coming from Ellesmere Port. I have however on Tuesday ordered a waterproof doorbell on the web. This was manufactured in China but obviously in stock because today, Thursday it arrived my Royal Mail.
Is there a moral to this tale? If there is I guess it would be do not buy British if you wish to have a reasonable delivery date.
Finally it is just a production line car, I find it almost unbelievable. More soon.
