I think I've only ever had a rant on here about twice but.....

At least he's not taken the "good" scissors.

well I got back from leamington spa about 2 hours ago, went to check with my neighbour to see if brembo m/c or 4 pot calipers have arrived = they've had nothing.

Meant to be doing carlsberg recce with leedsmatt and isle of man on friday for the weekend... royal mail might put a stop to that though

Ah 1 Brembo master cylinder and some other bits for Mr Paul the 6th, that he needs right urgent.

Nah f*^k it I can't be bovered Jess, he'll have to pick them up from the sorting offce

Our posties aren't bad, apart from the little episode when one was "sub-contracting" his load to bunches of foreign students who wandered around aimlessly with handfuls of letters looking at house numbers. Someone must have reported him I reckon.

I did send a letter to someone recently, it was slightly thicker than a normal letter and so possibly quite interesting to anyone handling it. It never arrived. I'd love to have been there when "someone" opened it only to find a piece of old inner tube (don't ask...).

On a plus note, I do some work for a quite seriously disabled lady in Leamington, and her postie is a gem, he goes in every day to check on her and see if she needs anything. 10/10.

Can I just say that this thread has yielded some comedy gold. You should all be very proud of yourselves.

Well, it can't be as bad as the Scottish couple whose letters we get on a regular basis. I mean, it's an understandable error, the addresses are identical apart from the fact they are totally and utterly different. It boggles the mind.

But, in regards to the rant, all our parcels are left behind our back gate if we're not in. I say left, I mean lobbed over. Some of them reach quite amazing distances, we have muscular posties in Surrey. We wrote a couple of notes telling them to please not do that, but when Dad's brand new Shoei was thrown over the gate (bearing in mind the gate is about seven feet tall) we had some angry phone calls. Sorted 'em out good and proper. Even compensated him the cost of the helmet.

I feel for you Paul. We used to have to use York sorting office from Ripon (45 minute drive each way) and over an 18 month period they had a 100% fail rate on deliveries. Yes, 100%!

The worst one was when we were waiting for a delivery from the USA for several thousand pounds of product for a trade show. Despite phoning them a dozen times (No one ever pics the phone up, driving there three times and getting Parcelforce head office to do a forced tracking check that showed it repeatedly in the York office, they swore blind they didn't have it.

We did a trade show where we would have sold all of the product and found out when we got home this had the boxes (about the size of a small car) for THREE WEEKS! Cost us about 5 grand in sales.

This happened dozens of times. A formal complain and threat to sue didn't improve matters one bit. Theu still claimed to have tried to deliver whatever it was despite CCTV showing them never being there.

****ers.
