Shoddy PresentsI have an aunt who for many years would send me the same christmas present every year. A Biro. Each year I wrote inevitable "Thankyou so much for the Biro. I am using it to write this letter" letter, each year a new one arrived.
Tell us all about the rubbish that has been foisted upon you over the years.

I had an Aunt and an Uncle....who lived life like "The Good Life" - totally self sufficient which lead to a somewhat blinkered and completely mislead interpretation of reality. For Easter they'd send Cadbury's Creme Eggs in the post, in normal envelopes. Needless to say the mess that landed went straight in the bin.
An absolute gem of a Christmas present from them, though, was a whole pound of sliced, dried banana "to put on my All Bran". I was five, for fucks sake.
