Did you also know that at one time when people wanted to communicate with each other they would get some blue die, called ink, dip some metal in it, called a pen, and write their message on a piece of paper? Then they would put this piece of paper into another piece of paper called an envelope and then stick on this second piece of paper a small square of yet another piece of paper, usually coloured, called a stamp. They would then put all three pieces of paper into a red box on the street called a letter box. Honest! Then after a while a man in a uniform on a bicycle would come along, open the box and put all these pieces of paper in a sack. Really! Then he would open the sack and give all the pieces of paper to other men in uniform who would either just throw them away, or read the messages first and then throw them away. Honest! Then we had electronic email and the ink, pens, paper, stamps and envelopes all disappeared with a lick of the tongue, into history. It was called The Post Office.
