Does anybody really know what time it is?

Another Big Question arrived from Matt Dalby today. The postal system was rather hard on this piece, but it doesn't detract from its charm.

Matt Dalby asks a question...

Matt explained that this relates to gas-safety. In the UK domestic landlords have to get a gas safety check done for all their appliances on a yearly basis by a registered gas installer. ID and AR are abbreviations used on the certificates issued and mean Immediately Dangerous and At Risk respectively, in which case the appliances needs to be fixed before it can be used again.

Check out his blog The Gentleman is a Poet in transition so I can't send a card back at this time. Thanks Matt!
