![]() ![]() and the reason for the above dramatic conceptual art as produced by me one month and 2 days ago? ![]() The photo's were £16 and one of them is meant to be a gift for RobH539 as we did the tour together. The claims process means that royal mail have to retain the packaging and contents of whatever is being claimed for, upto a value of £46. I've waited 2-3 weeks for these to come through and was gonna put them in some proper posh frames anyway, so I'd rather spend my time enjoying the picture on display... But it's all about the principle. Or is it? What would you lot do? Still thinking rocket launcher seems the most relevant and responsible choice...

scan them, phototouch them up print them, frame them - then claim your £46 back because thats what they cost exactly

Personally, I think you should frame your art! Its simplistic concept could earn you more than the 46 quid

..or ask him to send the file and print them out yourself. I'd take it to the local sorting office manager and ask which **** was responsible for that route that day. He'll know... and he'll also know he's in charge of *****ers

The picture was taken on a film DSL-R by the guy who works at the Jo'G site... gonna go down to the sorting office in the morning to let them know about it. Won't make a blind bit of difference but if you don't say anything then I guess nothing will change.

That's sucks Paul
![]() Things like this really skin my onions, fecking muppets. Favourite round our road is they either get a neighbour to sign for a parcel and then don't post a card through our door or they put a card through with no name on it so we don't know who the parcel is for. |

Scan, fix, print and stick on shelf. Seek compensation then decide if you want to risk having another once sent down.

Did the bloke not keep the negatives?
Claim the money from Royal Mail, get him send another two out at £32? Keep going and claiming until they get it right.....? |

I think it'd be quite cool to chop up a rape alarm, flatten it as much as possible and somehow make a trigger so that if bent it will go off in his hands, then send it to yourself. If you're in you'd hear it and could go out and slap him with a moldy fish and then claim £46 for the cost of said alarm.
