Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda jam.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Nation down to the Jersey demand of arms for the
pub test. Today, Christmas cards do they pass the pub test?

Speaker 3 (00:08):
It seems that Australians aren't sending nearly as many Christmas
cards as they used to. It seems that every letterbox
across the country receives has received forty three percent fewer
address letters since two thousand and eight, and at Christmas
we're not that much better. People are balking at how
much it costs to post, to get a stamp, to
have to go to the post office, et cetera, et cetera.

(00:29):
People are sending emails. A lot of people don't like
that idea.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
The post office lightly by the way and some cool stuff.
I know they're branching out all this junk that you
can buy to give for Christmas.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
So do you buy three stuffed toys while you're they're
trying to send a present?

Speaker 2 (00:43):
You know those executive toys? You know the balls are
the clacking balls and stuff like that.

Speaker 4 (00:47):
You can get.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
You buy your nephews that kind of thing.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Is black and balls.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
That's what you signed on the card. In America though,
they still send one point five billion Christmas cards every year,
so Christmas cards, so they still pass the pub test.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
No, not anymore.

Speaker 4 (01:04):
If we really like it, we'll give you a riggings
say Merry Christmas and a chat. But both cards go
could involve it, Yeah they do.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
My mum always sends Christmas cards we fout fail. I
don't send as much, but I must admit I love
receiving them. And I have this friends in the UK,
and I received one from him without fail, and I
think it's great when I receive it. I still write
out one hundred every year and I love sending them,
and I love.

Speaker 4 (01:30):
Looking at the list and.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Looking at the people who I might not have been
in contact with, but they've made an impact on my
life and I just love remembering them and love sending them.
I enjoy the personal touch and it shows that I
care about that person.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
I don't really part of the pub test.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
I still have a Christmas.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
Card list and I go through it and I do
all those and the worst ones are my aunties. We
not only expected cards, they also expect at least a
minimum two page handwritten letter, and if there's been any
new grand your dread photos must be also included. I
have more than one Auntie and I hope they don't
get together for Christmas because I write the same letter
for all of them.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
That's too much.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
And then you get that news you know, you get
the package newsletter that everyone gets roasting about the kids.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
That's the worst. Well Tarquin, yeah, you know, Jack, he's
got to a new unit to create.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
No, I've never sent that circular letter. I put on
the front page of the Herald and leave it at that.
