Can this be changed to "Ready at XX:XX, Deliver ASAP"?

As it is, you have no idea when "ready now" actually was. The job might have been, and probably was, ready several hours ago, sold and completed by the time you see it.

I have cleared in an area, looked on the 'Courier work' page, seen jobs listed as such and phoned up to quote on them. After being told they were covered hours ago, I tend to stop trying. So the next time I clear in an area I don't bother with jobs listed as such. So there might be one that was only posted ten minutes ago and needs covering, but no-one bothers because we don't know when it was ready.

May I suggest that when someone posts a job as "Ready now" the system inserts the time it was posted and displays it as ready at that time?
