Yes. All the non-clacksed mail. The post office is abandoned enough to be pigeon infested and thoroughly grafittied. Several letters from the sign on the building are missing, and then turn up on another store having been "bought off a fellow in a bar a few years ago".
This might be the one that sends us AU, mightn't it? Not that we aren't, in a way. There's an adorable gay joke early in the book, btw. Just in general, that proves (in case we needed proving) that homosexuality is something that goes on in AM, and people are starting to be okay with it (but folks from forn parts are still dodgy).
On the other hand, there's not much which anchors this book time wise...we could always wait to incorporate it for, say a year or two (that's a plot planning, innit?), or pull a Theif of Time ourselves and declare a time patching. There's a wizardy thing which is mentioned during the book (destruction of the universe) which could explain that...
Read it with haste, I say! It's funny. I've laughed outloud a few times now.
