Royal Mail, Post Offices and attitudes to the public
Not for the first time I’m pretty cross with my local Royal Mail delivery office, expecting a parcel I made sure I would be in for the postman but when today’s delivery finally came I found the postman had brought a ‘you were out card’ instead of my package.
As I live in a flat I waited for the postman to come back down from the floor above and asked for my parcel. Of course, as many of you will have guessed, he didn’t have it.
