Given the relative decline of letter writing and the relative increase in government funded bowel screening, the overall proportion of poo in our mailing system is probably at an all time high.
This thought brought to you by an old fart... who thought they had a few more years but was told by the doctor it's now available at 45 ....me...the old fart is me.
farts won't do, you need something with a bit more substance
I think it's available at 45 but they don't send it unsolicited until 50? I just did my 'welcome to 50!' bowel screening, and the nice thing about having that out of the way is that I no longer have to go to the toilet thinking 'poo! I should save that for science!'
