EastEnders

Okay, Steve, I'll let you off. <grin>

Good point.

I just thought
(boy did THAT hurt)

would Masood be allowed to deliver mail in his own neighbourhood

I don't think there are any rules against it.

I know a couple of posties and, whilst their normal round doesn't include their home address, they often deliver to their home when doing 'cover' or a second round on someone's day off.

It's illegal to stick pretty much anything (including adverts) on a letter box or anything else that is part of the Post Office (Postal Services Act 2000, Section 86, sub-section 1). Yes I Googled it, I'll get me coat in a bit.

However one postal worker in Wales was suspended from his job in August 2006 for distributing his own flyers with the mail, ironically telling his customers how to stop receiving junk mail. He was later reassigned a new round.

On that basis, technically what Masood is doing is a postal delivery violation of term of contract, however in the above case it potentially could have lost Royal Mail money,

That darn dawg has just made me shed a tear. Good little actor is that Wellard. It's a sad day for Enders when a canine acted better than the rest of the cast.

Same here, it reminded me of seeing my cat get put to sleep.

very sad, apparently they had to reshoot the end because the dog was still breathing.

good acting from the kids though, especialy Tiffany, quite a hard thing to act, Morgan wasn't around much, probably a bit young for pretending the family pet is dieing.

In BBC Prime land yesterday, I accidentally cut into the omnibus edition, which showed an episode in a registry office where Roxy (?) and the Slater guy were supposedly getting married. Bradley was there in his underwear. The bride stripped to reveal her underwear too. The bride's sister burst in to stop the proceedings. Then recommenced the proceedings as Matron of Honour. But not before the bride and groom had sex in the registrar's office at the side. And the bride and groom kissed and smooched all the way through the ceremony. Billy and Phil were kissing in the square. Ben was doing a tap dancing routine in front of two dozen other hardmen who were there to see their sons dancing too. Kevin's wife (used to work in the Post Office) was feeding kids with huge buckets of chicken and hearing the news of someone's dangerous past life of crime and drugs. Stacy and her mother thought the wedding was wonderful. The Vic then had to stage an inpromptu wedding reception (as you do). Honey was thrilled at getting the chance of a lifetime in fulfilling her greatest ambition of doing a shift behind the bar at the Vic.........................

I now recall why I deliberately avoid EastEnders these days. It can be summed up in two words.

U T T E R C R A P

In BBC Prime Land two days ago, we had the appearance of John Bardon in a single episode, coming home to celebrate his birthday. As I am not a regular viewer of the programme, was that episode the only one in which John has appeared since being taken ill, or does he make regular "appearances"?

Get well soon, John.

That was the first appearance since he was taken ill.

Well we're here again, this time on violence that we didn't even see and that you had to crank up the volume to hear in any great detail.



I do often wonder whether people who are following the plot in EastEnders (ie are regular viewers) are actually paying attention before engaging keyboard to Points of View. This was the same group of hooligans who trashed the Vic last year, they're not going to break into Jase's flat to sing Kum By Yah with his son Jay in front of the fire! What the heck could anybody think they were there for?! I mean, really.
