#Royal Mail.
-Attempt delivery during working hours.
-Ignore the box in porch marked 'deliveries'
-Ignore the Post Office 100 yards away.
-Tickbox card invites telephone call (interminable queue at my expense), or royalmail.com/redelivery (i get to spend half an hour inputting data to reorganise their performance of their contractual obligation to the sender) or the 'Royal Mail App' (whoopee).
-No ticked undertaking for automatic redelivery. One shot wonders.
Private corporation.

L'hypothèse Ségolène #Royal tête de liste LFI-PS ferait passer leur pourcentage de 19 % à 11 %. Un naufrage...
#OnThisDay in #history - in 1628, a courtier and #royal favorite, George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham, was killed by John Felton. Parliament had twice wanted to impeach Villiers in his position as Lord Admiral as he was utterly incompetent and corrupt, but the king had protected him both times. The King already had a tenuous relationship with Parliament, but his relationship with Villiers was part of a confluence of factors which led him to rule w/o it for 11 years. #OTD#histodons@histodons
If we somehow managed to get a #constitutional#amendment through [1] that removed them as head-of-state, there would be many a dry eye here north of the #border.
Well, #Meghan and #Harry end their #royal#podcast but I persevere, because truly royal is #nature! After a forced break due to the serious illness of Bilbo, I am working on re-entry. First, I prepare a short episode with our sniffing star, who teaches me so much. After that, I'm going to script the 2nd episode of "When Gardeners run wild", which needs a lot of research. Find everything about #NatureMatchCuts here, including ep 1 of the wild #gardeners: https://naturematchcuts.net
SRS: As of the week before the Royal Rumble, Cody Rhodes was told he was working with Roman Reigns, and the plan was CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins at WrestleMania. There had actually been multiple reassurances to the former that it would be happening.
