You see, the trouble is...

Even though I've taken the step of having our household removed from various mailing list data warehouses so that we don't get unsolicited mail and telephone calls, some inevitably slip through, as you'd expect.

They're usually .. no, on second thoughts, they're all crap and the only reason I open them is to remove any evidence of my name and address, and any other pertinent details, remove the customary free pen / lapel badge / sachet of hand cream / lucky charm and then sling said letter in the bin.

While some might find it a sad reminder for them, I actually find it amusing that people are still sending my mother letters even though she's been dead this past two years.

The ironic / funny thing is, most of them are from so-called clairvoyants and seers trying sell my mother a happy future and peace of mind.

Well, my mothers' dead .. you didn't see that one coming, did you?

Can't be that good if you missed that one.

There's a moral to this story .. damned if I know what it is...
