Speeding up the Post
A certain speaker. who contributes talks regularly to the BBC receives a large fanmail Much of this fanmail is addressed to him at the BBC in London and the BBC sends it to his private address in the West of England. He complained that the BBC did not send on his "fan" letters directly they arrived. They preferred to. keep them till a good batch had accumulated. He argued. The department of the BBC concerned stuck to its guns and said its method was more convenient. The speaker then wrapped up a dead mouse, put it in an envelope and posted it to himself "care of the BBC." Now all his fanmail is forwarded as fast as possible.
