Meh! I had keyhole. Four small scares - the worst of it was having a very itchy scab in the bellybutton.

Think it took me about two weeks to get up and back to what passes for normal in FSN world.
That should of course be "scars".

That was a real bugger, I live on the A6 just north of Lancaster and had nose to tail traffic crawling past the house from at least 7:30 until well after 10pm.  The whole area was at a complete standstill, I felt really sorry for all those poor souls, one lorry driver said he'd left Coskermouth before 8am and it took him 5 hours to get within a mile and a half of Lancaster. 

Fortunately I'd booked the day off to go to the Lakes but cancelled the trip, we could have got there but wouldn't have got back until well after midnight; ended up cutting the hedge, bit of a wasted day off but it needed doing and much better than being stuck in a 10 mile tailback.

Now taking into consideration that I don't drive, I reckon I know more about the Highway Code than a lot of thunderchunts using the road. For instance, I've come to the conclusion that that when the car in front slows down, you are supposed to guess which way the fecker is turning cos a lot of drivers seem to have broken -or simply can't be ar*ed to use- there fecking indicators!

Cyclists on the pavement. Small kids acceptable for safety reasons but adults, never, and the cheeky sods have the brass to swear at pedestrians who won't move out of their way. I'm one of those, by the way, I absolutely refuse to move and have been known to have a 'wee swearie' back at the gobsh*tes!

Drivers who are waiting to drive into a car park and block the whole pavement so pedestrians have to walk in the road or even have to cross the road to get past them. If I am was to walk in the road -which is where the cars should be- I would at the very least get a mouthful, so expect the same if you block the pavement!

Wait ... doesn't everyone do this?

Don't open it, just put it back in a post box. If everyone did it the Post Office would either stop delivering the sh*t or collapse under the weight.

If it has my name on and there's hope of a return envelope I open it. Remove anything that relates to me and use the envelope to send the rest back.

Junk mail is GOOD.  It keeps us getting out letters on our doormat, instead of the "Go and collect it from a central location"

It cost the Post Office the same amount for your postie to deliver that one letter you want as it does to deliver the letter and a load of junk mail.  Thus making delivering your letters economically viable.

Otherwise the postie may go the same way as lots of the sub post offices.
