12:5384946saw a t.v. piece on this subject, the problem seems to be caused by bad diet, notably cheap take away food.
after the demise of heavy industry there, many unemeployed people failed to take adequate exercise to make up for the energy used up by manual labour too.

19:1685020Maybe those receiving good service have a regular postman. I wish we did, the lovely efficient one who is suposed to be my regular postman is great but he keeps being moved onto other rounds every so often. It still iritates not getting the post until about 1.00pm when I am so near the sorting office.

21:4385058The magic and humour of this forum. From fat people, to heavy industry, to useless postmen, such diversity. You just won`t find anything on the box to match the humour on here, which is why I prefer the forum to the box!
Tell them that I came, and no one answered.

23:4385080Colm Wilkinson at the end absolutely wonderful (so were the rest), I have the concert version of Les Miserables and when he sings it's spine tingling.
