...when
this rolled past my house this morning. I think they might have been lost.

It seems that there is some sort of "Old West" project going on at our local Elementary schools and the kids were having their mail delivered back and forth via Stagecoach.

This might be a more economical way to deliver mail for
everyone. She's already painted in Royal Mail red and yellow. Would you like me to have it shipped over to you, Garry?

I hope you fellows aren't saying I'm some sort of cowboy??
The pub used to be a stageing post in years gone by so it's nowt that's not happened here before

Mail used to be delivered here and if there was any for Goring on the other side of the river, a flag would be hoisted and someone would row over the thames to collect it.. or so the story goes
