Report him. I'd be taking strips off his boss

Postie arrives at my sisters with post, recognises me, speaks etc etc

Up at my own house around the corner there's a blue card in the door for a missed parcel

Thank's for telling me! I now can't get it until tomorrow, although I may chance it and try

You're probably doing a lot of people a favour...the guy might see the error of his ways if he gets some disciplinary action...

Yep, maybe he's in the wrong job if he speaks to his clients like that

Sorry to refer to you as a client Bibs

Good luck with that. The sorting office in Wycombe get really shirty if you dare to arrive with your "sorry you were out" card on the same day. Some of the people there are so anal and jobsworthy it's almost comical. And they wonder where their bad name and reputation comes from...

I was expecting a big NO but the sorting office man was very happy to part with said parcel

Main inkjet printer in the house decides that it won't print anything, low ink, and despite my ghetto ink refill it's not going to play. Just when I needed something printing

So I'd bought a 2nd hand one with a continuous ink system, as my wife and daughters are using it a lot for their Uni and school work. I'd had something similar before, and it was great, lasted at least 4 years before the printer wore out, and I still had ink left, despite kids printing this and that in full colour.

This replacement was supposed to be nearly new, went through the faff of installing all the drivers and CIS ink tanks. But it's got the Epson two red lights of death, which mean stripping it down to clean a sensor, so my Google search told me. I'd been sold a pup

FFS. No more faffing, ordered a new printer, with an inbuilt CIS tank, at least I've got ink to refill the ink tanks.
