Liz, I have a great long list of things that I'd *love* to be able to receive as email attachments: a roast potato when someone spoke of their Sunday roast in a message; all sorts of goodies from Sainsbury's which aren't available out here; a yorkshire pudding filled with meat, vegies and gravy; a lawn full of daisies; the sound of church bells, not to mention a whole roomful of people speaking English with an English accent - don't much worry *which* county they come from, as long as its an English accent; the smell of Ilfracombe harbour (no, if you don't know it, its not an unpleasant smell, just different to anything we get out here);I could go on and on!! I just hope someone, somewhere, is working on the technology!! Ruth Budge (Sydney, Australia) http://personals.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo! Personals New people, new possibilities. FREE for a limited time.

Jean and all the Gentle spiders, Thanks for your help - I was telling Dad the other day that it's like tappng into the collective consciousness of the world. I just go on line, write to lace chat and someone has the answer. You have all been so kind when Sparky was ill and had to be put to sleep, you send us out great receipes and now, you solve my postage problems. My only worry was that my tame Aussie is due over here at the end of the year and as the secret pal post sometimes takes ages, I was worrid, as I wanted the packet to get there before he came here. I love the internet but there are somethings you just can't email. Stupid to send things to someone coming over here to live but it seemed like a good idea at the time. And it was only a VERY little package. The thought of it being sent by see, all alone ...

FW: [lace-chat] Airmail to Oz
I thought I would put my two penny worth in this discussion. I used to work for the Post Office in the UK have dealt with Foreign Mail, registers, swift air. Foreign Data Post,I know things have changed a lot in the last couple of years. So I made a phone call and found out the following. I have been told it is now Inter Data Post to Australia not registered. Now I know that this will be tracked all the way and it does get priority all the way. For the UK it is now Special Delivery, not Registered, this is tracked too. I was told that there is Inter Signed For, if you are sending mail to Australia, this has no special treatment, it is just signed for at receipt of item. Parcel Post I was told, there is no insurance for any item if it gets lots. I know that all my mail to Australia gets there quicker than when I send it to the States. I also find even in Europe it can vary a lot how long my mail will take depending again on the country I am sending it too.
