Scammer surpise
This is a new one, to me. I actually got an economy air mail envelope in my letterbox. And inside I found a letter (fairly obviously photocopied or printed on a printer running low on red ink) that purported that some relative I've never heard of has left 8.6 million pound in a bank account in London and would I like help getting this money into a 'safe' bank account.
LOL.
Nigerian Scam artists supporting the post office, who would've thunk!
But, I cannot pretend I read this missive with a big grin on my face and my wife and I got a good chuckle out of it.

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?
Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.
Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.
So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?
