Parcels are only prioritised by posties who don't know what they're doing. I haven't prioritised parcels for years. Apart from being spoken to, no disciplinary action is taken as the managers won't put it in writing - that would be an admission of guilt under s83 of The Postal Services Act 2000.

*old person moaning about prices alert* £9.60 for a bit of cod in my local chippy. I'm not in London and they're not a rip-off. They're offering pollock & chips for £8.80. I remember when beer was tuppence a loaf etc.

I would have loved this on my first international flight in 1979 aged 10. We were flying LHR to YUL with BA but we were boarding an Air New Zealand plane. I was panicking. Even worse - it was a DC10. In 1979! Turns out BA were leasing it but I didn't enjoy that flight.

There's a new issue (Viz 360) in the shops. Sorry no refunds.
A pic of the new issue (Viz 360) and a reader letter: "It's helpful of King Charles to assure his subjects that Harry and Meghan are 'non-working royals', so we can readily distinguish them from all the other royals stacking shelves in Tesco, delivering food for UberEats or pulling 18-hour shifts at the local A&E.

It's The Prodigy Experience today. Some of the samples have exposed my lack of knowledge of reggae outside of mainstream, charting artists. This is new to me. Pablo Gad - Hard Time youtu.be/5LZJ0I2Uda8?...

Not everything is available on CD either so, as I can't install a full system in my car with a tape, cd and record player, I'm still using my ipod with 25,000 of my lovely digitised tracks on it. It's not big enough for everything I've bought and it's old but it works!

British people will walk past a Starbucks, Burger King, Costa Coffee, Taco Bell, Blank Street and not even notice. Then they'll see an independent shop called Al-Badr Supermarket and cry about how the UK is being taken over by foreigners.

Can't get over Farnham Town being in the Conference South. Just seen they're playing Truro this week. Farnham were in the same step 5 league as my lot for ever going back to the 1920s. I've lost touch with local football but someone's gone in there with money.

Reform UK's Suella Braverman promises ‘consequences’ if pupils don’t sing Christian hymns. That would be policed. So what happens to atheists, agnostics, non-believers and other religious denominations. Will they be persecuted, imprisoned? Reform UK getting desperate and bizarre.

People watching in the pub garden. There's the older couple with a dog chatting away, there's the younger couple chatting but as soon as one goes to the bar or toilet they're on their phone and there's the even younger couple constantly on their phones and barely speaking to each other. Fascinating.

Just seen a gig listing which includes The Men They Couldn't Hang. I saw them live in the late 80s but, apart from that, I've largely ignored them and never bought any of their records. Probably the most glaring omission from my years of buying music.

Most housing benefit goes to private landlords. A big chunk of universal credit subsidises underpayed workers. The so-called welfare bill could be seriously reduced by fixing these underlying issues, not cutting actual welfare.
