I'm surprised they haven't taken the £10 Christmas Box away....mind you when it was introduced it was worth something.....the equivalent today would £168 :-0 :-0 :-0

I was in the building society this morning, and the manager was putting up their tree. I told her it was very pretty, but there was not enough crap on it. She wasnt impressed :-D :-D

Trees are meant to be tacky and colourful :-D :-D

I wonder sometimes if we ever had the same parents. She is a terrible snob with no sense of humour. :-0 :-0

We have three sets of lights, and I bought cascading curtain lights last year for the window. Just to annoy the neighbours. :-D :-D

The Post Box outside at one of the Post Office and the one at Tesco were covered in black plastic with 'out of service' on them.....to be replaced by automated post boxes whatever they might be :-S :-S

Did you see that some post boxes are being fitted with solar panels, which means the knitted covers cannot be fitted over them :-( :-(

Why would a post box need a solar panel?? :-S

LondonBelle

LondonBelle Report 1 Dec 2025 19:50

No I hadn't heard that :-0 :-0 I wonder if it is something to do with them being automated......how can you automate a post box though :-S :-S :-S :-D

I certainly hope they get them sorted by the time I want to post me Xmas Cards cos it cost me £2.20 to park to get to the other Post Office :-| :-| :-D
