I hope they are not relying on LOCOG or whatever they are called to give them the right address to base the choice on.

North Korea and South Korea, and calling a Welsh Football Player English - and we haven't even had the opening ceremony yet.

Hope RM have'nt gone out and bought a job lot of Gold paint :cuppa and it must be costing them a fortune having people on standby to print off British Gold Medal Winner stamps :whistle
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Penzance and Lossiemouth........

Though it wouldn't surprise me if they painted the boxes gold and then in 3 months time they did a collection review and removed the boxes.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

"Penzance and Lossiemouth" :shock: That's a lot of travelling if one person's got the job of painting all of them. :crazy:

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Presumably that's what the large 'POSTING BOX' sign is for - not quite as attention grabbing as being painted bright red :roll:
The machine stops.
