Quoting is very important. Snipping isn't. Say two or three people are
in a conversation. If one doesn't snip but the other does, it'll only
ever be one or two more levels than they want.

Snipping is important is someone quotes 300 lines of nonsense, and adds
a 2-word reply on the bottom. Some readers will never see it.

Ever heard of a wheelmouse?

I assume you're in America.

Yes, said so elsewhere when I said we have states bigger than your whole
country. Not everything is as "compact" as it is in UK.

Do you get home deliveries from supermarkets over there, if so is it
expensive? In the UK, as Stephen said, it's only a few pounds.
No. Just checked. Only one other grocery store left once Wally-mart
arrived...a sore spot for many rural communities.

For other supplies, yeah shop online otherwise is 100+ mile round trip
to a nearest city with stores of significance.



Only 100 miles? 160 miles here. The next city of any significance is
another 440 miles further west.

Northern Ontario is _big_.

Why doesn't America fill to the same population density as the UK? Did you guys forget how to ****?

I've never answered my phone with the number and thought it a very odd
thing to do. When I phone someone, I want to hear "hello" or their
name, not their ****ing number. What use is that?!

Maybe to help the caller realize he dialed the wrong number.

That seldom happens, especially since the invention of phones which store numbers.

At one time I had a number starting with 926. One day I got a call from
someone (sounded like a teenager) saying "I want some pussy.". I suppose
he thought he was calling 976 (pay services, often phone sex).

No, he was looking for the local pet shop to buy a cat. You really do have a dirty mind.

Which is my point. Rural is different in North America than rural in UK.
It is why we do not have mail delivered to a slot in our front
door...that is a city thing, or at least a built-up suburb thing.

Anywhere with the next dwelling less than 500km away or/and more than
one car a day is *crowded*.

Western Australia is _BIG_, two-and-a-half times Ontario, let alone
Northern Ontario!

And to the US ****ing-contestants: WA is halfway between your two
biggest states and nearly as big as your second and third biggest states
combined.

Exactly.

But JWK can't imagine anything he hasn't seen with his own eyes. At
least three times.

No, you guys just can't follow basic logic. In rural Scotland, houses might be a mile apart, and in America 50 miles apart. Dropping the mail off 100 yards away from the door doesn't help with this.

Oops! I still had Ontario's size in my calculator. WA is actually
bigger than your biggest and second biggest states combined. So your
biggest state is actually sort of a small one! :-)

"Western Australia is ... the second-largest country subdivision in the
world, surpassed only by Russia's Sakha Republic."
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Australia)

And to add insult to injury, Australia has only 8 states (of which one
is a tiny one) and of those 8/7, 5 are in the list of 50 biggest
'states' (country subdivisions) in the world - while the US has only 2 -
and 2 of those 5 are bigger than the biggest US state (Australia rank 2
and 6. US rank 7).

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_country_subdivisions_by_area)

So perhaps you seppos should tone it down a bit!

Not really a ****ing-contestant, merely explaining JWK's concept of
rural is different elsewhere in the world and why other rural places do
not have to-the-door-delivery of mail.

Eight actually, if you consider the two territories to be states. The
state versus territory thing is just a historical (hysterical?) thingy.

Did I already mention that Australia's biggest territory is nearly as
big as the US' biggest state!? :-)

I'd go by where you have differing laws.
