Are you regretting it yet, Eddie?

B_S 1, I see mine is there. The one with the orange squares under the address. Unless somebody else buys their envelopes in France, that is. And copies and pastes the address from the blog.

Mine isn't there as I didn't send any in. I can't remember ever finding any red rubber bands on the street. I must have the perfect post man.
Oh wait a minuet, he does still deliver mail for the person who lived here but left over a year ago. I keep writing on the letters that they have gone away but I still get them.
Having been a post man in a previous existence, I seem to think they have a legal obligation to deliver mail to the address on the mail, even if they know it is wrong.

Harry Mountfield says there are enough rubber bands being discarded to power 12 Spitfires.
Eddie, can you tell us if you have similar plans for your little stash?

Why is the BBC institutionally biased against constitutional change, and politically biased in favour of the Labour Party?

I'm sure that your points are well meant.
What's it got to do with the thread topic though? Red rubber bands.....

They are fascinating things aren't they.
Due to the thermodynamic laws of expoansion and contraction you can feel the temperature change when you stretch them and the cooling effect on contraction.
I love red rubber bands.

Also due to the colour being red - this effect is 22.7 times greater than on a dark brown elastic band - according to wiki

GM - what are you doing playing on the blog? Shouldn't you be entertaining? (I don't mean what you wrote isn't entertaining, just... you know!)

Am I the only person who read the title for this thread, and now can't get Jeff Wayne's "The War Of The Worlds" out of their mind?

if anyone has a suggestion as to what to do with these red bands can they please let me know as they are of no use whatsoever in tying up mail bundles!

I know! Should we all send our red bands back to Royal Mail so they can save money and employ enough posties? With good wages?
Cos in my street we used to have a brilliant postie we all knew, but he was laid off, and now the mail gets delivered higgledy-piggledy.
