For heavens sake STOP BICKERING you're like a bunch of weans - which by making the forums over 18's I did hope to avoid!!

Or is this what always happens when men get competetive? Except its a competition to see who can bore us all the most. So, stop it now please.

Sharon, you've used 2 exclamation marks there when there was only need to use one.

Over 18's doesn't take an apostrophe either.



Feel free to put this thread out of its misery any time you like.

I vote "yes", but for use here on you lot who don't know when to button it

[JayKay]

I could probably get my hands on one if you need it

Errm...i'm sure you'll all be overjoyed to know the items I was expecting, DID make it through the post, safe & sound.


Anyway, that's all, i'll let you get back to your discussion..

Just saw this on the BBC website - I guess poor postal deliveries do exist! There are heaps of letters lying about in my close, most I think due to people having moved.

I saw this too, it was mentioned on Radio Scotland this morning as well. It doesn't help if your postie is a lunatic either. I caught ours stuffing somebody else's mail through my letterbox recently. He then asked me which close he was in! He had completely lost his bearings. After I had put him right on this question he produced 3 items of mail which were for me. God knows where they would have ended up if I hadn't managed to catch him. What can you do?

I had an Abbey National passbook stolen in the post last year after I posted it to the branch using ordinary first class mail.

A year or two ago there was a TV programme where I guy went undercover and got a job in a London sorting office. Not only were the postmen clueless, like not being able to find addresses and therefore deciding not to deliver the mail, the undercover guy hooked up with a postman who was involved in fraud.

The dodgy postman told the guy that he looked out for envelopes with credit cards, debit cards or valuable documents. He said that if an envelope looked like it had a credit card or similar, he'd take it. He was part of a network of full time fraudsters.

The Royal Mail is pure shite these days. Some areas are better than others, but I don't trust the post in my area not one bit. I can't even rely on the postman to post my letters to my address, because other neighbours get my mail and I sometimes get theirs. And that doesn't account for the mail that went astray to dishonest neighbours.

I would recommend that people get their mail delivered to their work address if that is practical if the postal service in their area isn't reliable of if they have dodgy neighbours.

Said programme highlighted one of the main problems with Royal Mail - a reliance on short-term, temporary workers either in the sorting office or on the street. The guy didn't know from one day to the next who would be working alongside him with the obvious result that no-one cared about doing a good job.

Does the on line retailers ( Play.com and Amazon etc) not track your order with barcodes?
Didn’t get a memory card last year from Amazon, that I ordered. Contacted them and they just sent out a new one.

up until about eight years ago you could set your watch by our postman, 8, am every day. now if i am lucky enough to get any mail it sometimes, ie about two or three times a week includes other peoples mail too , i have had other peoples bank letters and credit card letters put through my letterbox, i have also had the little card put through my box saying that they tried to deliver a package but there was no one home at the time , so could i come and get it my self,which is funny because i once caught one such card as it came through the box, i opened the door and asked the postman where is my package ? his answer i only do as they tell me !! i did not press him as the guy could barely speak english , and i actualy felt a little sorry for him , the royal mail ? it,s a joke ...they clearly do not give a damn....
