The shape I'm in it would have to be one hell of an enlargement for me to be able to see it without a mirror !

Sarcasm doesn't work well on Internet forums!
I guess 'cos forums were 'invented' by Americans.

Unless the e-mail is on a screwed up bit of cardboard by your letter box...yes.
The address was contact@royalmail.com, which sounded reasonable enough for me to wonder if I'd completely forgotten I was meant to receive something...and had given my email to royal mail...and decided that my junk filter wasn't working. Yeah, it's spam.
Is it just me, or does anyone else ever get those russian ones, with words to the effect of: "Hello. My name is Natasha. I am 23 years old and my friends say that I am good looking. I live in Litovsk with my elderly mother who has not been well since the death of my father last winter. Life is very hard. I am writing to you because I was told that you were a man of good heart. My mother desperately needs money for medications for her heart problem and to buy wood for our stove. Please can you send us $50? We are so grateful."
??
I used to get variations of these regularly, sometimes from "women", sometimes from "men".. but they've stopped.
Anybody else ever get these?
