For years I've wanted to go to Montana - not the flat bits, the mountains in Glacier National Park. I was googling pix of the place when I came across these. It's simply stunning, I want to go even more, but I can't afford it - unless I sell up:(

You mean, like Royal Mail are about to do? Hey I'm self-employed, with lots of competition, not a monopoly;)

talking of that mate, word in royal mail is since our monopoly has been lifted and out government want us to loose a certain % of our work to the competition, the brown stuff is really starting to hit the fan. royal mail now are pleading with the regulator (post com) to put up the stamp prices ALOT!

...I hand deliver nearly all my mail in SY1 post code area, (cos that's where I work) and SY3 (cos that's where I live). SY2, SY4 and SY5's a bit more difficult.

It's all to pay Royal Mail pensions - what bloody pension:( Mine's with Equitable Life:(

Hey Ed,

Your gonna hate this... But my family has a condo in Montana. Have had it for 14+ years. I have basically grown up down there, it's my second home. We drive through Glacier National Park every summer. Our condo is in Columbia Falls, about 30 minutes from Glacial National Park. We call it Whitefish, because no one knows Columbia Falls. ;)

It's like no other. I think if you live there though, you take all of the scenery for granted.

Well I went to find a link to a bunch of images from last summer... And realized that I never posted them! So here they all are:
