It's always nice to receive a letter

The fable goes that author P.G. Wodehouse couldn't be bothered walking down four flights of stairs to walk to the postbox, so he'd just throw stamped letters out the window and rely on a passing stranger to pick them up and bring them to a letterbox. Even though it turns out not to br true (apparently P.G. enjoyed his daily walk to the post box into his nineties), I'm sure there must be at least a grain of truth in the story's origins.

Deciding to see how it works in practice, [livejournal.com profile] bluedevi has set up postwodehouse.com. Sign up to be part of the experiment, and Deirdre will randomly drop a letter to you somewhere in London (or possibly further afield). If it makes it, drop her an email so she can update her statistics.

I think it must have confused [livejournal.com profile] madangie when she accidently opened the letter on Monday and read it without understanding the context!
