Interesting train journey to Telford.

Sat on a table for 4 with 1 other passenger then got 'found' by a religious acquaintance who talked & preached & talked & preached and then the other passenger started laughing to himself :eek: & lifting his t shirt up & itching his scabby chest :eek:
I then noticed his tattooed sleeve of 'The Scream' & offered for the 3 of us (religious zealot too) to move to another part of train.
But he said he wasn't bothered so we had to stay there & he then started telling me about something, that I got totally wrong about when he was in hospital......
Longest & awkwardest hour ever

p.s religious man would like a girlfriend who cooks, is Welsh, walks, non smoking & likes big dogs.

Wehey, £3.62 back on the Prosecco (sp) posh wine with the Valentines meal deal, so they actually (after my DTD) gave me 12p to take away £26 worth, happy days.

Oh no, don't give me that. I've seen that and it only served to confuse the issue even more.

Just in plain, simple English would be nice.

That says alcohol isn't allowed in international mail so posting within the U.K is fine.

What it doesn't say anything about is posting alcohol from an international destination to the U.K. Do you know anything about that?

Thank you and they are on offer at the moment for £1 so is everyone paying 50p for a 3 pack? I haven't tried them before are they nice?

But surely if it makes it's way here and gets to customs then it's already here, so why not treat it as domestic mail if it's got this far instead of destroying it?

It's not as if Royal Mail has flown it here, it's come in on standard cargo aircraft..

I understand USPS stopping it, but if it gets through them, gets through customs and handed to RM, why destroy it as technically it can now be treated as domestic mail.
