everyone you ask to do something says

"too easy"

and then 75% of the time fails to do it properly or at all.

It's the silly things that do it for me as well. I was watching a program about the Yorkshire Dales recently & the guy was walking down the river Swale. As he rounded a bend he commented about the work done to prevent erosion & I found myself looking at tonnes of rocks in wire baskets. As an 11 year old Scout I'd filled some of those baskets, collecting the rocks from the opposite side of the river on rafts & having a great time............. brought a tear to my eye it did

Buggers I thought child labour had gone out at the end of the Victorian Era

Maybe that happens as the task assigned isn't sufficiently motivating?

Adverts telling you ''you gotta love that''

No I dont!

Good times mate, my dad lent me an old box brownie, I took loads of pictures. We got to camp there for a full week for free, provided we spent at least a day filling the wire baskets. I reckon we had such a laugh we must have spent four days swimming rafts back & forth.
Strange how things stick in your mind but the nearest phone box was at a place called Starbottom, just past Kettlewell, I haven't been there for 32 years yet I can still remember the phone number of that phone box: Kettlewell 860

Politicians have to tell their constituents to wash themselves properly.

You can't fit your address into the boxes on forms.

Everyone on the adverts shouts or sounds so excited that they will explode.

You're vaguely impressed when you see four boxes on an envelope for the postcode until you realise they're pointless as the envelope is going to the UK.

scottishcelts

how true is that!

And whatever you do, don't write in the boxes if you want the mail to go anywhere outside Aus!
When I worked for Aus Post we would see envelopes heading for eastern Europe, seems some of their postcodes are 4 digits. If the numbers are in ths boxes the machine assumes they are Aussie codes and directs them to whatever state - eg anything starting with 7 heads off to Tassie. One if us asked what we do when we see letters clearly going into the wrong delivery slot & we were told not to do anything. Seems some mail floats back and forth for weeks with the machine thinking its an Aussie code and no human intervening to throw it into the international heap

scottishcelts

Why doesn't that surprise me?

brissybee

..yet fail to deliver.

Great how the simplist things can bring the best memories.

Can still remember my Grand Parents phone number from when I was really young. Livingstone 747
