And none will hear the postman's knock...

Well thank you very much Jerry postal workers.
There won’t be much point my checking to see if I’ve sold any books on eBay or Amazon during the next week. Who's going to buy a book that’ll end up logjammed in a sorting office? Never mind your grievances, chaps. If businesses switch to other couriers, you won’t have jobs at all.

edit: since posting this, I have sold two books, both to overseas buyers. I have had to write apologising for not being able to ship out their books yet. This is very embarrassing.

Spare us!

First it was reliving Kathy's rape: very distressing. Now, all the details of Ruth's impending and completely unnecessary operation. Perleaze!
