Snail mail

[muffett.2008]

Well I dunno, maybe my dog bit the postie or something.

It really has been a bad month, I purchased an item on Ebay, delivery date for eight days.....waited ten then contacted seller....had forgotten to post it, still waiting on that one.

Lances 22 book from the U.S, tracked it to Sydney than lost it.....arrived on the 17th, been in transit ever since....still waiting. So far seven days to traverse 250K.

Floods are playing havoc over there maybe they have to use row boats!

I remember the time that my brother wrote a letter to a friend in Australia and left it out for another family member to take to the Post Office to send it air-mail to Australia. The family member totally misunderstood my brother's request, didn't read the address on the envelope, stuck a UK 2nd class stamp and promptly posted it in a "pillar box". I thought that it was hilarious but my brother didn't because he felt that he needed to rewrite the letter and send it again. The funniest part was that the letter actually arrived in Australia, at it's intended destination, several months later, still with it's UK 2nd class stamp. It was quite a few years ago but hats off to Royal Mail for getting the letter to Australia on a second class stamp, even if it did take several months.

Lucky break. Normally the black hole just swallows stuff that comes that close.

I like the way you think

It is a pity that due to BEE we cannot get you in as a consultant. A lot of SAPO issues could have been solved.

Not to worry, the future residents of Africa will take the matter in hand I'm sure.
