After just coming back from a long weekend away (Fri-Mon) nowadays no pile of mail on the floor when we get home, Use to be that you go away for at least a few days and it'll be piled up, Now nothing, Just shows how much less we get by post.

This particular pedant finds the linky thing is broken rather like most things in this country. :(
