Can't resist telling you this one about our PO over here: When we used to send telegrams, I wrote one out to my Grandmother telling her that I was going to drive up to her place to take her to the doctor on a certain date. The clerk then said, "Do you want it delivered?" I was a little gobsmacked and asked him what else would they do with it. He told me they usually telephone it through...it cost extra to deliver it! Absolute madness - if she had a phone I would have called her myself. Still laugh about it.
