New Trick from the Royal Mail

Time to vent a bit!!

The local parcel boys have decided that instead of actually arriving at my front door to deliver my stuff they will just give the normal postman a card to say "you weren't in come and collect it from us!!" Poor old postie got both barrels from me (I'm a typical red headed bad tempered scotsman!). Its not that I'm far away from the post office it's just the principle of the thing!

Anyway vent over, feel better now!!! :major:

Yup, they've been doing that to me since I moved house. My new flatmate's have a reputation for never answering the door, so the postman doesn't even bother bringing parcels to this address, they just get stuck on the shelf at the depot and he brings me a card automatically. I feel your pain, man.

Not only that, my cousin sent me a letter with a first class stamp on it which arrived today, and it was six pence short, for which I got charged a £1 handling fee! Bastards! And I had to walk into town to collect the f*cker! Six pence!
