    When I lived in New York I was shocked to find that in the huge post office on 8th Avenue, that looks more like the British Museum than a regular post office, Britain's very own Royal Crest, along with other seals, was on the ceiling. What's the historical reasons for this? When was it built, what are the other crests and why does The Queen's Coat of Arms smile down over unsuspecting New Yorkers?

    Who was the first British Prime Minister to visit Australia whilst in office?

    I was thinking about this while preparing for a trip to the post office this morning; that oft-seen phrase, "Do not fold, spindle, or mutilate." We all know what folding and mutilating is, but how do I spindle my letter, and why doesn't the post office want me to do this?
