Bounce message received for one of our email updates. I think it was this one (in which I tried so hard not to swear, but may have said damn. Also I mentioned Grayling).

NE Derbyshire’s email filters are terribly, terribly prim. Being in the Council offices must be like an episode of the Waltons.

Also ‘this email is confidential’? I somehow very much doubt that.

    It is very much like the Waltons at NEDDC. We even have a tea trolley complete with a tea lady who sings. And we (almost) never swear. Really.

      Wonderful! Of course, what you don’t have are any of my email updates containing mild profanity…
