The British postal service sucks
There's an ad on TV at the moment for Hovis bread, a young boy buys a loaf of bread in 1912 or thereabouts and goes through time with this loaf, visiting all the memorable things that happened in the 20th century, and stumbles into his house in the modern day. It's really cool, the way they did that...but that loaf must have been seriously fucking stale by the time he got home
