    Is it still possible to send a telegraph (not the newspaper) in the UK?

    Question #87344. Asked by crazycube. (Oct 16 07 5:01 AM)

    		Swiss-based Unitel Telegram Services runs telegram businesses in 44 countries, including the UK - where it took over from BT.

    The telegram is also still used by heads of state and diplomats and others seeking to give their communications added gravitas.

    The international telegram service formerly provided by British Telecom has been spun off as an independent company which promotes their use as a retro greeting card or invitation.

    I was not sure who to send this to and how to send it, so I decided to send an email to everyone on my mother's address book. I know some of you may already know this but, my mother passed away this morning at 8:10 am. Some of you may have known her as Carryll, Vivian or Finlady. My mother suffered for many years. She went peacefully and she is now with God, probably talking an arm and a leg off him asking questions..haha! We will miss her, but it was good to see her at peace. The obituary will be in the Eagle herald tomorrow. The address is www.eagleherald.com. Love to all, Liane (her daughter) I received the above e-mail today and thought those that don't use the forums would like to know. The obligatory question mark?
