Aprosexic - Old age should burn and rave at close of day

So that's where they come from..

Today's lyric:

"I don't care how much money I got to spend
I won't find my way home again
Oh the lonely days are gone
I'll be right home
My baby, she wrote me a letter."

Joe Cocker: "The Letter"
From the album: "The Voice"

I'd become vaguely/idly aware of the plethora of red rubber bands on our front lawn and drive. And elsewhere on my recent walking expeditions?

Apparently, they're the band of choice of the Royal Mail and because the first lamppost in the lane is outside our house, the posties park their bikes against it and sort the letters out, discarding the bands while they do.

So the next time the cost of postage increases, ask one of the high ups in the RM what their annual expenditure is for rubber bands.
