The sender is someone that lives in the back of beyond, so far away from civilisation that they don't even have sticks.

He asked how he could get the money to me, as face to face meeting to hand over wouldn't be practical to either of us. So I suggested he went to the post office & had a chat to them about the best way to post it (I didn't want to be in the position for the sender to say "Well I sent it how you said, if it hasn't arrived, that's your problem" - so I was very careful in my instruction).

The sender then told me it'd been posted (yesterday at 12:30), and told me that they'd insured it for the value it contained.

Knowing what the sender is like, if the post office were busy, he'd of stood in line 3 weeks if that's what it took.

Mine have actually given me some so I can fill everything in at home and just take it round ready to go.

This is when I was going in regularly sending SV bits off.

mind you the amount of counters that the RM are shutting i bet the staff ain't got that much job satisfaction either.

2 weeks ago we announced to the staff 2 million profits for the business, last week i got a letter asking if id like voluntary redundancy?
