In the UK when you go to the municipal gym or the swimming pool you often need to bring "a pound for the locker". The locker is a man with a bunch of big chains and padlocks who will lock up you and/or your belongings unless you give him an imperial pound of suet. #ukLife #england #justBritishThings

Housing shortages don’t happen forever without someone benefiting.
The uncomfortable question is who — and why that makes change so hard.

My parcel has finally been delivered and the buyer has picked it up.
At last! All's well that ends well and all that.
Royal Mail only updated their status at the end of the day, a couple of hours after delivery. As it would have been stored in a locker that was fine but I'd have preferred a quicker update to reassure me that I wouldn't have to wait another day.

On reflection, the Royal Mail status was ominously vague.
"we normally expect to deliver" implies that there's a high chance of something not-normal happening.
What could it be?
a) postie delayed by market day traffic
b) post van stuck in a muddy bog
c) time ceases to exist once the county border is crossed
d) masked men hold up the locker site:blobcateyes: :blobcatbox:

Royal Mail statuses are confusing. Why did they say a package was being 'delivered' when it was just being transferred between delivery hubs?
Grr. At least I know it's in the right area but still no delivery time. This is a 48hr post that's taken 4 days. Hopefully with the buyer today.

Swap shop.
Today I'm doing some admin on my postal stuff.
Apparently my non-barcoded stamps are no longer valid for postage. However, I can swap them for new stamps by filling in a Royal Mail form, so that's what I'm doing this afternoon.

The world has gone bonkers. Every year it gets harder to find an actual #Bonfire on #BonfireNight. Don't even get me started on the complete lack of #pie n #peas which I haven't seen anywhere for the last 3 years.
So, I've been to the shop on my way home from being hit on the foot by a falling rocket, and corrected the world's wrong doing..and when it's ready I'm going to eat it in the garden, shivering, just for the authentic feeling #UKLife
