    No, it was smoke signals and drum beats in emergencies. ;)

    Are you worried that he's in danger of becoming one of those stereotypical "whinging poms" that the Aussies talk about, Tony? ;)

    You had "carrier pigeon and telegrams" gosh you are posh.
    On a serious note, sending gifts by sea save you loads of money.
    You could just put everything into a glass bottle, throw it into the sea, and hope it make its way to the UK, it might take a while as next day delivery is not guaranteed.
