I’m literally not going to do this obviously but surely you must be able to buy weed killer through the post because of places like Amazon 🤣

More seriously, sending weedkiller as a 'lighthearted' joke to a person you are in dispute with could be construed as a threat to them (/their life).... even if it was just intended as innocent assistance with their weed problem. If someone wants to take that action out of context and make more of it, that is.

A friend had a dispute with a neighbour, I'm unsure who was at fault as I only heard my friend's side of the story, but when the neighbour sold and moved on he sent a packet of sage and onion stuffing to my friend - maybe try that instead of the weed killerThrifty Till 50 Then Spend Till the End

There's extensive guidance on prohibited items in the post published by Royal Mail.I've had ebay sellers post chemicals to me via Royal Mail, including some highly toxic stuff. The sellers don't care, and RM don't appear to be bothered unless the chemicals leak out.Her courage will change the world.
Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.0
