No free Sun deliveries in Skelmersdale?

And Daffy Duck.

You calling Daffy Duck a lefty?

Re 31

“Despicable ?” That’s usually reserved for ‘lefties’ !

This amused me.

One or two of my Facebook friends have made great play of returning their copy – I wonder if they have a Sky wok on their wall?

Double standards?

Not sure if you are including me on this list Mr Moggy, but there is definitely no Sky wok on my wall and never will be!

There is a sign on my front door, which reads:

“NO free newspapers and NO junk mail”

I caught the postie shoving a copy through my letterbox the other day. I politely indicated the sign (it has been there for at least 3 years), and handed back the copy of The Scum. His face was a picture.
Despicable, right-wing rag.

It arrived just in time – I’d run out of dog poo bags and was looking for something to clean the dog sheet off da lawn….

No more so I suppose than the fact that readers of the Times are very unlikely to buy the Sun. I enjoy Sky News and a couple of their TV channels but would only find one use for the Sun in our house and that only if we had run out of Velvet Tissue!!;)

Ours arrived this morning.

Utter, utter, utter dross. I shall post it back in the nearest post box when the local hoodies have found something more interesting than hanging around it, looking bored.

Royal Mail won’t care. They will have been paid handsomely by News Corp for the Direct Mail so job done.

Anyone get theirs yet?

Mine is now in an envelope, without stamp, wending it’s way back to News Corps, the hope around here is that even if the returns don’t make it back to the originators, it will give Royal Mail food for thought before accepting this sort of sh@@e again.

Anyone get theirs yet?

Oh a wind up! Now I get it – what a hoot! I’m doubled up laughing………..

Nurse! Get a nurse!

You mean to say people actually still read newspapers?
Hmm, interesting.

Quite a lot. Not as many as read the red-topped comics, but still.

Which all goes to show just how little you do understand, Snaff. Lumping together that list in your second paragraph shows you to be as out of touch as you imply I am.

Many of the things I grew up with are well consigned to the dustbin of history and many of the things which have replaced what I grew up with should also be consigned to the dustbin of history. And I know I am old, but serfdom, the feudal system, wattle and daub houses – don’t be that unkind!! Although I did live in a wattle and daub cottage a few years ago and very comfortable it was, too.

Out of touch? Did you not see the bit where I said it was a general thing, not aimed at one person? It was all tongue in cheek as I typed it – but that doesn’t show up too well in text…

In truth delivering that rag in much of the North West will only result in overloading the post boxes in the area, as there is a growing feeling for many, that should said rag land on doormat it will be promptly marked return to sender and dumped in a mail box.

Don’t forget the lies and cover ups, the blaming every one else except those responsible, made the hurt of the tragedy so much worse.

No no nononono! In this forum anything and everything that is written in the Sun is The Truth, you just can’t fight it.

Anyway, I heard on a phone in yesterday that it will be greatly appreciated as toilet paper to hang on the nail in their outside privies, if it is not put under their whippets first… (I think it was a joke)

No, it doesn’t; it’s simply another crude attempt at a wind-up, and is best ignored.

Crude?

…junk mail…

That’s the word I was looking for!

There’s possibly an interesting conundrum, to which I don’t know the answer, but, if each copy is addressed to the householder, does that mean it qualifies as Her Majesty’s mail, and it’s an offence to interfere with its passage, but, if it’s not addressed, would it be classed as junk mail, delivery of which you can refuse?

Sad, but it is not what is on the job description anymore, one of the jobs consigned to history like slave master, cattle baron, master of the stool, etc.

I understand that you are old (I am talking generally here, not at one person in particular) and you don’t like the way that all the things you grew up with – job titles, countries, freedom to insult whom so ever you like, monetary denominations, vinyl records, ink wells, clay pipes, the British Empire, wattle and daub houses, serfitude and the feudal system – have all been left behind by all except a grumpy few.

Like they sing in Frozen* – let it go, let it go…

*A recent Disney animated film that my two youngest worship. Damnit.

No, she’s a postwoman. Postal Delivery Person is nearly as sad as Waste Disposal Operative.
