Royal Mail
Interesting article in The Times this saturday (28-Jan-06).
Residents who live in a rural village in Wales are having the postal delivery service stopped. A man with a clip-board and a day-glo jacket has deemed that the health & safety risks he identified could lead to possible "fatalities".
A particular nasty country-style could lead a fit young postie to struggle. This means that a 79-year old Royal Mail customer with a heart pacemaker now has to use the same lethal style to get the nearest town to grab his mail. The old man can, however, use the Victorian postbox next to his house to send stuff.
After over 100 years of a regular postal delivery, the H&S man has decided that Pat can collect the letters, just not deliver them.
The wall above my kettle in the kitchen is covered in generic corn flakes. When I read the article in "The Times" I spat them out to the tune of "b*****ks!".
