Once this had been pointed out i couldnt help notice the amount of mail that had a small tear in the corner, that no doubt happened accidentally...
Sadly the junk mail always makes it through intact.
Ha ha! This is completely true. My first job out of school was working for Royal Mail and the postmen in the sorting office had virtually a sixth sense for detecting packages with porn in them. It was uncanny and the chances of anything getting through were minimal. The same could be said for cash in cards.
One of the guys I worked with got a jail sentance for stealing £50,000 of goods and that was very much the tip of the iceberg. It was also to be noted that when I worked there I think I was the only employee who didn't have a King Billy tattoo.
It was a very, ahem, 'Protestant atmosphere' you might say.
