Update 1338 19 November 2025

Order Numbers Hello, Order numbers are currently an 'L' followed by up to six-digits. We are approaching 999,999 and the prospect of a seventh digit breaks some of the psychological niceties of manually entering or verbally communicating six-digit numbers. The prefix 'L' was originally intended to have a meaning, but it wasn't found necessary, so we will shortly bring the initial letter into the fold and start changing that in order to keep the number component six-digits long. For ease of validation when communicating order numbers we will try to keep it to a letter and exactly six digits, ie Annnnnn, but we may stray about L1,000,000 before we manage to do the necessary work. Therefore please be prepared for the letter to not always be L. Thank you Danny Scroggins
