Clever Junk Filters

So Tuesday, we drove into town to take Aliza to the US Embassy for her registration there. This entailed a trip into Mayor Ken's Dreaded Congestion Charge Zone. I paid up the night before, and requested my receipt be sent by email. I expected (as these things often do) my email to arrive pretty much instantaneously, but it didn't - or so I thought.

A couple of days later, I poked my nose into my Junk Mail folder. Very little gets by the BT Internet spam filters, so I get maybe 1 or 2 junk emails per day - and most of it is genuine junk. Except that, nestled in there, was the receipt I'd requested for my Congestion Charge payment. How appropriate.
