It is amazing how, when disposing of packaging on items bought over the Christmas period, one can advertise their contents by not removing their own address off the container it came in and letting those in the community know what you have purchased.

That makes me think about Neighbourhood Watch, and especially the correspondence on notice boards in some areas. It’s amazing how often you will find on the notice board some information that will save you having to ask someone in the street.

I just wonder how many people actually do look at their notice board and see the varied important circulations for members of the community that live there to look at. Next time you pass a notice board just take a few minutes to look and you may learn something to your advantage.
