FORGET ABOUT NEITHER SNOW NOR RAIN

The Royal Mail can be stopped by seagulls or an aggressive raspberry bush.

Are British "Health and Safety" regulations even written down? Or do they make them up on the fly?
And the gentleman does look like he could use every variety of trimmer know to man.
Bet he's not married.

I tried to get my raspberry bush to quit chasing the mail carrier, but it just gave me the raspberry.

I saw Aggressive Raspberry Bush open for The Strawberry Alarm Clock.

A couple of months ago I was in Aberdeen with our daughter (checking out post-grad school offerings) and spotted a very well-dressed young man heading down a side street, lunch in one hand, cellphone in t'other. Out of the blue a seagull the size of a Cessna starts dive-bombing him. Distracted by our thinly-veiled attempts to remain standing due to the fact we were laughing like drains, his pathetic attempts at fending off the beast were to no avail.

"That's an offensive weapon, that is!"

"Making it up on the fly" appears to be a long-standing tradition among British gubmint types, if it was a joke 40 years ago.

If, when one is visiting Doune Castle, and one asks nicely, the gal in the gift shop will lend one a set of coconut shells which one can utilise whilst one is fulfilling one's lifelong dream of being a knigget.
P.S. Don't approach the entrance to Doune Castle from the east, regardless of what the GPS may tell one. It's, at minimum, a five-point-turn.

' the bush is dangerous and a risk to their staff '

maybe their 'staff' ought to wear some 'protection'

True, the whole thing reeks of Monty Python.
