    Receiving small cardboard boxes in the post is a big part of modern life.

     

    I'm the sort of person who keeps little boxes that "might be useful".

     

    So why is it that when I want to send something in a small cardboard box I cannot find a suitable one anywhere?

      The disappointing thing is when you receive a small cardboard box in the post and were expecting something slightly bigger...

      Waiting for cardboard boxes to arrive in the post is an even bigger part...

    The model railway / Bake Off connection fizzled out early, unfortunately.

    I was looking forward to lots of train cakes.

      I don’t like cake. I’m more of a cheese scones and crumpets man. But I can’t see much that you with them train-wise.

      This is where the competitors are told they are the "weakest link"?  (4 vowels and 7 consonants...)  :crazy:

    Mr Pooter said this of his two friends, "Doesn't it seem odd that Gowing's always coming and Cummings' always going?"

      Yes, I think most of the time it's actually intended to be a PM. I await with interest the day when a manufacturer uses the feature to inform Andy about a supersecret forthcoming announcement :D
