say nothing.

I got a letter today telling me that penalty points had been removed
from my driving licence. Never had them imposed, so does that mean that
I now have some sort of `anti-penalty points'?

" letter " ! in the mail ! ?
Do your spammers actually send _mail_ ?
I've ~ never seen such a thing - robo phone calls - yes ;
.. live person phone calls - sometimes - getting rarer ;
.. spam emails - few.

Fun innit - there's a boxed up eclectic rotavator downstairs which I
ordered from them only to have it stall in Dublin with a customs issue.
After a few days Amazon offered me a refund which I accepted and used to
order another one which did arrive and was put to good use preparing ground
for a hedgerow.

Weeks later the one I originally ordered and got a refund for
turned up unexpectedly so it's still sitting in its box - I canna use two
of them, one is xanpxrevat[13] enough.

[13] Not a bad ROT that one.

You are correct. Must investigate, without giving them information.
Stamps here cost more than a Euro.

I'd be wondering about identity theft, and perhaps
checking my car to see that the plates are indeed there
and are mine .. in case of an incident of stolen plates
and a photo radar conviction ..

shipped late is different from delivered late, i suppose

I suppose Jeff will have to wait a few milliseconds for his next yacht, or
penis-shaped rocket?
