OT: Bloody Royal Mail

Amazing how many people say they've killfiled folk, yet they're still seeing the posts to complain about. Couldn't organise a pissup in a brewery.

Only a moron goes there, it's three times cheaper on Ebay.

Since god doesn't exist, it's not a proper noun, no capital.

Only a moron buys lumber on eBay and pays for shipping.

God does exist, so it is a proper noun, capitalised - jews also exist but being subhuman don't deserve to be capitalised, any more than Pigs do.

you mean when I buy an item, they give it to me for free with a refund of twice the price?

I needed some timber which the local merchant didn't have in stock.

so I looked online

Minimum order 20 units (I wanted 6).

They weren't any cheaper either, just available.

I had to scour around all the other merchants for so stock instead.

It only takes a few to do it, to cause mayhem in the rest of the country.

Actually, now that I have looked closer, none of the offers are for what I need anyway (but the prices are still high)

I need 8 by 2 boards as the 8 by 4 that everybody is offering wont go up the stairs to my second floor flat

High street retailers (well, back street retailers) all offer a choice of 8 by 4, or 8 by 2.

Why would I think "large letter" would be a range of 4, when "letter" is a range of 1?

They weren't told, Ebay was. There's no point in Ebay having a sort by price function if everyone gets to the top by adding an unrelated item to the listing at 99p.

Things are made unnecessarily complicated by people with nothing better to do.

Yes, but something prefixed with "un" makes you think of the word then negate it. Unnecessary thought process.

Of course it does. A certain bird could be rare because you only see it once a year.

They're utterly pointless. Language is for conveying information.

According to her everyone called it that. Maybe they all shared the same one?

This was before they invented that stuff. About 30 years ago.

People tend to be naked less often in the living room.

They're fussy. Most scales aren't that precise.

Because the maximum weight of a letter is only 3.5 ozs. Not much scope for a range there.

Well, perhaps eBay told them and they simply changed their registered IDs and carried on doing it.

Or by people trying to squeeze the public for money.

But you just used the word 'unnecessary'. Isn't there an equivalent word without the 'un'? And don't say 'needless' because that has negative connnotatiions too.

Something else could be rare witout anyone ever seeing it. It doesn't have to be something physical.

Far from it. English literature would be worse off without them.

Not only for that.

I don't do youtube.

Maybe there was only in the village.

They had cruise boats in Scotland that long ago???

Why?

Then you should use them for weighing potatoes not letters.

Probably have the reverse effect.

No, £10 is three times cheaper than £30. Just as £30 is three times as expensive as £10. "Times cheaper" is the exact opposite of "times expensive", so you can do one calculation then the other alternately forever and end up with the same number. Think of "3 times cheaper" as "divide by 3" - or more simply, you can get three times as many of them for the same price. It's not rocket science.

That's not borne out by the health stats.

Oh well done, you've picked something very heavy that's less likely to be cheap online (for which I'd go to Beatsons or Jewsons, not ripoff B&Q). Having said that, show me a local supplier that sells this stuff:
