I get loads of these from various people and normally I don't really mind them although I have never sent them on. The problem is I am back in Brisbane where I live for part of the year. I received a chain letter today with the usual "pass this on or you will have a horrible day which will get worse during the week".
Look, I narrowly missed the worst of the floods, and we have a cyclone warning for later this week. How much worse could this week get!
I know the UK sender didn't mean it intentionally, I am just on her sender list, but I'm feeling a little fragile at the moment.
Maybe it's time to stop this chain letter nonsense, or at least give a thought to whom they are being sent to and be a bit more discriminating?

It was an email and normally I do just automatically delete them, trust me to open this one!! No snail mail being delivered at the moment because of the floods.
Just delete them pegasus. Nothing untoward will happen. I get them in the form of texts, and delete them immediately.
Hope the clean up is going well in Brisbane.
The sender obviously did not think too hard about your circumstances - I'm sure they would be mortified when and if they realise.
Having been a victim of the 2007 floods in England I truly sympathise, my heart goes out to you and all affected by the devastation.
Well obviously you've missed one in the past. Now we know who to blame for the floods in Australia. Don't you wish you'd paid attention.
Mum: Did you get the email I sent you?
Me: No?
Mum: Oh, hang on
Me: (Knowing how long it takes mum to check things out) It's OK, I'm on the laptop now. Did you mean the forward?
Mum: Yeah! Did you get it?
Me: I did, but I have no images, so it doesn't make sense.
Mum: Oh!
Me: Maybe if you think it's funny enough you can send it again?
Mum: You didn't see any pictures?
Me: No, don't worry about it.
Mum: Oh, only I got no pictures either.
Me: But you still sent it?
Mum: Yeah. It said, send it to 10 friends and see what happens.
Me: So why did you send it?
Mum: I wanted to see what happened.
*honest to goodness truth
There`s always those people who have a permanent list of people to forward a message to ....sometimes the list is rather long.
