Expensive and pretty much useless sums them.up.

I initially though there was one but it was a big fireworks display. Delapre Abbey which is about half a mile from me eventually got restored by the council who had wrecked it using it for offices in the 70s and there are events of one sort or another regularly now

I find parcels arriving by courier are usually pretty efficient and speedy.
It's if anything is coming by post that it takes forever and a day.  

The poor old postie gets the job of dishing out a variety of flyers along with the post these days.

I'm paperless on all my bills and about all I get apart from the odd card is stuff from the NHS, IR, pensions stuff and the rates bill. Few that aren't  spending taxpayer money seem to use them. Even the junk mail is well down. I do get a variety of parcels but very few of those come Royal Mail or Parcel Force.

Yes,  funny how that always manages to get through, isn't it!

Maybe a big dog would have saved her from attack.

But at her age,  would she have been able to look after a 'big dog'?

I believe she had lived there nearly  30 years,  and perhaps never expected trouble in such a quiet place.

Quote from: Alex on Today at 09:12:16 PMEveryone is wondering what happened and has their own thoughts, personally I can't see anything wrong with discussing in on here.

OK.  Fair enough.   Sorry Alex.

Quote from: Mups on Today at 08:15:59 PMOK. 

We've got storms forecast for next week anyway.

And another thing  . . . .  I do believe its getting dark a little earlier already.
Has anyone else noticed this?
