Can anyone remember when we were given vegetable seeds to grow in the garden.It was royal mails idea of helping us to eat healthy and have pride in ourselves for growing our own food.
Still think its up there with the best royal mail ideas of all time!!

Don't insult vegetables!!!!!!!

The seeds "bonus" was a cracking bit of Royal Mail P.R. own goalism - Radio and the papers had a field day out of "Posties get a packet of seeds for a bonus" jibes.

Come to think of it, would the seeds be worth more than the 92p we got this year?
