David Cameron: burglars leave human rights at the door

[Mich the Tester]

this is a significant and very interesting difference

You mean there's a boring bit to this story too?

A person who wanted to receive post?

In the USA they have mailboxes.

I suppose their front gardens are so big that it would be cruel to make postman walk all the way to the door...

milanbenes explained that in his "boring" long post about average folk* in the UK versus those who live in central Europe.

One thing the postman do in the UK is a form of community service. I often see my postman talking to the old neighbours. This wouldn't happen if we had mail boxes.

*I live in an area with a wide variety of housing so some folk follow the central European method.

My postman is very friendly. "Er Indoors" (Mrs Dodgy) is always baking cakes for him.

That's very nice.

Also explains why they had to scrap second post and the fact that now mail deliveries take closer to noon rather than 9am.

[Churchill]

Just think; the Edwardians/Victorians had up to 4 postal deliveries per day.

And no 1st & 2nd class.


One could, apparently, post a postcard in The Mumbles at lunch time & have it delivered in Neath before teatime.

Then again, England ruled a third of the world at the time, so it paid to know what was going on.

FTFY!

And was there anyone in Neath that could actually READ it, or did they just congregate around it and look at the picture?

It's a shame that this thread died on the second post, because the topic is actually quite interesting. It's a massive statement to say that the human rights are left at the threshold. The Fritzels of this world would have a field day!

As would the husband carrying his new wife over it.
