On the FPU ? Not at the moment sir.

Waiting on Royal Mail as per usual. I have a mailbox collection service, which means I walk over the road into the delivery depot and ask them..

"Alright? Anything?"

NO!

"Ok, cheers, bye.."

Then walk back home.. I had it setup because the local criminal chav element of our society had a tendancy to force their hands down inside the letterboxes on the Main Door to the building and steal the contents.

I worked for the Royal Mail service for 10 years. Towards the end became such a bad experience I decided to leave.

The postal service in this country is appalling. Almost all of my Ebay packages are genuinely sent same/next day from sellers with postage date stamp to show this, yet I do not receive them for at least a week.

The cost of postage too, is extortionate!

Have you ever ordered from Amazon......now thats extortionate postage .

@ Zetro
Be quicker to drive to Bristol and drop them off personally, or if the fuel costs too much grab a pidgeon from the town hall square and strap it to its leg.

P.S I`m sure at 90 that Doris wouldn`t be interested in touching it.

Got 2 Eco-Friendly light bulbs in a parcel from the electric board this morning. I thought wtf do I want these for? Cheaper rates would be nicer

Or do they have this strange logic, that if I use their free light bulbs, my electric consumption will be lower, therefore my bill will be reduced and I'll thank them?!
