..in the Post Office today waiting for a chap to process his E-bay parcels. You have now got to tell the postie what's in the parcel. On the final package he said it contained a meer cat puppet & told the post mistress that he'd got £56-00 for it!!!!....Not bad for for a free gift from an Insurance company......The world's gone mad....

[Buenchico]

Yes, but I still love the website ;-)

Hey rusty, I might get another free meercat puppet, house and contents insurance due next month. already got three, I'll have to have a look on Ebay and see what sort of dosh there fetching !.

[boxtops]

Yes, there was a thread on this the other day. We can no longer post parcels containing batteries or other risky items, which is why the PO ask us what's in all our packages. Anything sells on eBay, my greatest surprise was selling a gold plastic elephant....

The crafty sods bring out a different model every six months or so.

Tony, I'll buy one off you [at the right price!

[boxtops]

Remember the pottery moneybox pigs, I think from NatWest? They're collectors' items too, now!

do they still take horseshit in parcels then> - my grandmother did that when she was young.

My grandfather rarely caught fish - one day in June, he actually landed a seabass and sent it through the post from Cornwall to the Lakes as proof of his exploits......the old man sent it back to him - address unknown.

And they go on about the youth today!

[tonyav]

There always the right price, Psybbo !.

A friend who knows I love Curly Kale once sent me a parcel full of it through the post but had only put a second class stamp on it. It cost me about £1.50.

Are Meerkat puppets different to the toy they advertise on tv ?

[DTCwordfan]

And I almost sent Eccles leeks this afternoon - note 1st Class or use Fedex.
