That time of year again...

... Happy Birthday, thebustocrookes !

Confused?

This is a prime case of why I could do with simplification in my life.

I'm giving the keys back to my place in Dundee within the month, so I've got to setup a postal redirection.

My “old” address has a number of sub-variations, because
(1)    the address in the Postal Address File is different to the electoral roll
(2)    the Postal Address File gives my old address as being three separate flats, instead of one
(3)    neither of these are actually what is actually marked on the door.

So, the address in the postal address file is invariably recorded as
Flat D, 33
Or
Flat D, 35
Or
Flat D, 37

When I asked the then-local councillor to try and simplify things, we got another version, so the address in the electoral roll is recorded as
Flat 3/2, 33

But, the actual number on the door is
Flat 4, 35

While the postmen have just bunged everything in (irrespective of the number, or the name), try explaining that to someone outside the city!

This is enough to drive you to drink! Pity the pub downstairs closed down, in this respect!   

Ten years ago this month...

... here is a picture from Perth Bus Station in the snow, as Matt on Dundee Area Bus Forum was asking about the TSO-X's Leyland Olympian/ECW's (SO5-10/905-10) that Strathtay had. This was taken ten years ago this month, when I worked in the parcel office (a month before it's closure). The bus had been displaced to school runs after the arrival of Strathtay's Volvo Olympian/East Lancs Pyoneer's, but was sold on soon after to Lincolnshire RoadCar.

Another day of happiness

It's been a very busy day - more of which later.

Speaking of happiness, my father's moved into his new care home, today.

Not so sure about my sister, who is apparently in hospital with a kidney infection.

Never mind, I'll catch up with the rest later on.
