(Paid postage envelopes with an address window would be ideal - as the address wouldn't look like it was tampered )

yes this works i know someone has never bought a stamp in ten years ....tight git

Leaving it raw and just putting it back into the postbox with this one.
Although i have been putting lines up in the top left corner, a bit like a prisoner does on the walls counting down the days

It might turn back up again tomorrow with a bit of luck, and i can start on my hangman game

Will take pictures and do thread updates, just trying to work out a way to harness all this free postal energy i am creating for myself



I thought envelopes were printed at some point, so they knew that one had been used before?

Some of them stick on address labels would cover the original address spot on, just need to devise a way of opening them without damage

All most post is printed/stamped/whatever with postal date etc

Opening without damage - sharp knife and slive the seal then cover with sellotape
I've done that a few times when I've say forgotten to put cheque in for credit card payments.

Definitely no stamps on this one.

Just UKMAIL on the top right hand corner, had the odd letter "hand delivered by royal mail" that i have written "**** off you spamming ****s" on the front before popping back into a post box, but those ones never return

Found it. John Wayne's name was Marion.

There used to be a BBC comedy called "A Man Named Shirley"

You were confusing John Wayne with the wrestler Big Daddy (Shirley Crabtree).

Thats a reasonable assumption but it was because of the programme I mentioned. Never used to watch the wrestling.

No problem. I just assumed that this came into the category of "famous hard men that had names that didn't match thier image".

So Marion Morrison and Shirley Crabtree fitted that and your comment about a famous cowboy called Shirley meant that I made an obvious (but wrong) connection.
