'Pushing the envelope' there Wend ;-) :-D

Post Mortem's over then? :-D

Thanks for keep us posted, Ann.

Frankly, my dear, I'm going to hit the sack



:-D

well I have!!! I'm having fun on Supercrutch's Food Labelling thread - it's become quite interesting :-D

A very interesting thread Ann.........and i think we have all learned something from it! ;-)

it should be stamped out I agree, and I'm being frank here but admit I'm licked!!! I think I have post natal depression - second class of course!!

Lets be franked about this........


have you registered that complaint??

I agree - enough is enough :-D

You're such a card, Island :-D

PS Stick it where you like, if I'm out - on the kitchen table will do :-D

I second that! :-D

First class post Wend :-D

Wrap it up, will yer :-D

Stamp it out I say :-D

This seriously needs addressing! :-D

When I was a manager in Royal Mail, I had to do regular checks on postman clearing boxes in the afternoons.

And I know counterparts who did the same for deliveries and morning collections.

As said if a postman was seen to be doing something 'wrong'. It would be reported back later that day and the postman would be interviewed. Do it once too often and the dole queue was in sight.

we were getting insurance letters for a name that didnt live in my house. gave it back to postie marked not known here.next week got the same letter back..this went on for several months, eventually a letter arrived with the name of a private hospital group on the back.
on the off chance, there is a private hospital not far away.......took it there and showed it to the receptionist asking, could this name be a patient of yours?

it was..but wrong address..............by law the postie HAS to put it through the letterbox even though HE knows its wrong!!

daft innit!!!!

Similar thing happened to me not long ago..The postman was emptying the postbox and I tried to hand him my letter but he wouldn't take it..He said I had to put it in the box...Bearing in mind he had the box open so I put it in the box and he took it out and put it in his sack :-S :-S

Our village postie would take letters from me at the house and make sure they were posted. OH could also stop him on the street in his van and get any post if he saw him. Not of course, in the 'rules' but then neither was him not turning up on match day :-D

I have yet to meet an unpleasant postman - the ones who deliver to me are more like friends

I think it depends on the individual postman.

I live in a rural area, some way from the nearest postbox, my postie always greats me with a smile & has been known to take the odd ready stamped B/Day card to post for me.
