Boring Postcards

Listen to the item

Some postcards are indeed as advertised, tedious beyond belief but others don’t know what dull is.

Karen had the right idea, her view of Stevenage town centrehas a particularly fine view of the Gateway supermarket.

On the other hand Mrs BC Mclean of Colchester enclosed a card sent from Scotland to her son. How can a card that features a one eyed dog, a professional tanning centre and a branch of the Royal Mail calling itself a “post of ice” be boring?
