Prickly message to be sent to posties

You can challenge most environmental pressure groups with impunity these days: none opposed the Government’s forestry privatisation plans until popular protest was on the point of overturning them. But there’s one you defy at your peril – the tiny Hedgehog Preservation Society.

Where once-fearsome groups such as Friends of the Earth or the Campaign to Protect Rural England seem to roll into a ball when trouble approaches, the prickly 12,000-member society attacks the mightiest of opponents. It made the Scottish government scrap a cull of the animals on the island of Uist and even forced McDonald’s to change the shape of its McFlurry dessert containers to stop hedgehogs getting their heads stuck in them.

So pity the next target of its ire – the humble postie. The Post Office gets through two million rubber bands a day while binding up the mail, and the society is to mount a campaign to stop its workers simply discarding the bands: apparently, curious hedgehogs get them stuck around their bodies, where they tighten and embed themselves into the skin.

Next month, the society’s members will be sent postcards showing such a stricken beast, and be asked to hand them to their postie or send them to the local sorting office.

The Royal Mail would be well advised to give in at once: after all, a body that boasts Ann Widdecombe as a trustee can be trusted to punch above its weight.

Shouldn't the Society be doing it's job properly and get motor vehicles banned. Far more hedgehogs are killed on the road than by red rubber bands - unless the hedgehogs are getting caught in the bands and catapulting themselves into the road as they try to escape!

Not if people have spotted it - but then when you can view members posts in isolation its easy to identify the anglers

Pity you cant do the same - I know of no single delivery postie that DELIBERATELY drops the bands but when you have 3 to 4 round each bundle and an average of 30+ bundles each day - thats 90 to 100 bands, its impossible not to drop 1 or 2. Add that to the fact we could be carrying a 16kg bag and answering customers questions, delivery the post, getting signatures sometimes you drop then without realising.

But as I suspect (based on post count and tone of such) you don't come on here to debate but to see how many bites you get its a wasted point.

[perstop tray]

Fair point well made true, and if it is done by accident my apologies, but i still stand by the fact that a MINORITY of posties know they have dropped them and will not pick them up

Pity you have to see my previous posts this way,
Seems if one doesnt agree with you and your posse they are classed as a xxxxx
With YOUR opinion in mind,
im afraid al have to add you to my tally- Been wanting you for ages, thanks very very much

Some people don't know how lucky they are.
Our country is going to the dogs, we are fast approaching a time when many of us will live just long enough to see the first British people to die from malnutrition since the Victorian age...........
and all some w*****s have to worry about is elastic bands waiting to be swept up by a street cleaner.
For fook's sake, get a fookin' grip.

Some people really need to get out more.
