I just clicked on a link, tumbled down a rabbit hole and found myself here.
What an awesome place!
Now, how on earth do I get back to wherever I was?
HELP!!!
It’s magical I got here yesterday evening, posted about BLM and black holes. The post disappeared but the thread kept in My Stuff. What an awesome place!
Now, how on earth do I get back to wherever I was?
HELP!!!

Did anybody ever put a parcel on their parcel shelf?
Tissues, yes. Cushions, yes (inexplicably). Nodding dogs, even? yes, but parcels?
When the parcel shelf was invented, what did they assume to boot was going to be used for?
Unsure if this is a 'joke'... but I imagine there's a good chance the "parcel" in "parcel shelf" has nothing to do with the Postman Pat variety. The origins of the word are more closely related to what we might now term as divide/apportion - so I've always assumed it is called a "parcel" shelf because it divides the car into the passenger compartment and the boot space.Tissues, yes.

I was thinking about this origin 2 days ago. Concluded it had to be from a 1920’s Postman Pat and never thought of it as parcel=partition that’s a bit too lateral shirley?O. M. F. G.
