Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Does anyone know if we can still get Costco membership? Looking on their website it says Post Office employees can but no longer mentions Royal Mail employees.

I'm a member and have been for a number of years. It isn't free though. The branch in south Manchester has a petrol station, (members only) about 4p a litre cheaper for unleaded.
