Trev,
Could Austpost have been following our discussions about their service??? That is a dramatic improvement.

I was once a member of a fishing club site we were talking about the fisheries department and i got an email from them with an offer to talk to them so i did at the time i was a fisheries volunteer had been for some time so they got a shock but all that was told on that site was the truth and they did not like it one bit so it dose not surprise me that we are read as long as it works I dont care at all Trev
