    Thing is, all living things (animals and plant life) adapt to suit their environment, while we humans change the environment to suit us. And that's the problem. If we were gone the planet and its remaining inhabitants would do very nicely, and have no need for power stations, motor cars etc. They may even cope with lack of WiFi.

    I genuinely wouldnt buy 1st class stamps, they no longer buy you a faster, 1st class service

    First Class should be renamed 'this year delivery'. Though as Christmas approaches this cannot be guaranteed. At least it shows the recipient that you tried.

    The RM issues are quite handy when you miss a birthday as you can just post a card after and blame them.

    If they do you can say it must have been delayed in the sorting office.

    The first Christmas card of the year fell through the letter box today - unfortunately it was incorrectly addressed and was not for me.

    I looked up the post code and redelivered the card.
