@1goodtern I was an airline pilot for 20 years (sorry) and I developed a cheap and safe strategy for dealing with extreme weather - I stayed on the ground. Unfortunately ‘extreme weather’ is not so easy to spot anymore - It’s just weather.

@hudson_derek @MrJackLowe @RoyalMail I have my issues with the German postal service, many an item has gone undelivered because I failed to somehow address it exactly properly.

@Icelass I’ve often wondered exactly when this happened. To me it was and always will be a ‘Railway station’ but it’s uncommon to hear anyone use it now, my children (now adults) use ‘train station’ and it’s pretty much standard even on the radio. It’s not just estate agents.
