Xmas Norms

[Doc Vernon]

Well as Xmas approaches, i just want to advise that this Year i will NOT be sending any Cards out to my usual contacts. With the Postal System getting worse and the cost of Postage and Cards rising each Year too, its getting beyond a Joke now!
So to all those that normally get Greeting Cards from myself and the dear Wife, please excuse us this Festive Season.

Will post Greetings at a much later date
Thank you for understanding ALL.
cHEERS

Down here in Victoria the Post Office has gone mad.
Taking on so many casuals for the season from end of October to end of January.
Saturday and Sunday deliveries in December, and only $3 for overseas postage.
But I do understand your situation, so enjoy the season.

Postage within the UK varies but a letter starts at £1.65 1st class or 85p 2nd class. What cards cost I do not know. Only cards I send are Birthday cards for my son & Granddaughters as they are in France, anyone else it is hand delivered , neighbours etc! or an E Card.

I have also stopped sending cards anywhere as it costs too much.
Sometimes i have to choose wether to eat or not,thats how things are with me.

Greetings will come later.

Here in Oz seniors can get books of stamps with the cost of a letter at 60cents.

I've never sent a Xmas card. Someone has to keep alive the spirit of Ebenezer Scrooge.

The wife has always done the Christmas and all other cards.She enjoys sending and receving card sand gifts.She is off to Perth WA to visit the grandchildren for Christmas,i have done the flight twice its a tough journey so not this year for me.To look on the bright side she is hand delivering the cards and presents so there is a saving there:dream.

Christmas this year for us was the boss and myself . My son & Granddaughters because of work related issues cannot make it to us this year.
My brother and sister inlaw have invited us to Kilmarnock, Scotland. It is their 60th wedding anniverasary. So looking forward to that.
Must remember to bring a good Bushmills Whiskey original !!! instead of putting up with that Scottish stuff.
