Hi PME,
It was quite funny really, but when he pushed it throught the open door letter box I was gobsmacked...lol...if you saw our building it's so easy and all the numbers are visible, think he must have gone to work without having his Weetabix this morning lol............

I wouldn't mind, I picked the post up and it was all bills anyway....lol

lol Tis ok Taff I know you :))

Good posties do seem a rare thing, I would though forgive any new postie starting on the local high street where I grew up as the numbers are all over the place, its not a case of being a member of MENSA to figure it, but you would need to have the common sense to ask the local shop keepers what's what.

As for shoving it through the letter box why make work for youself espically if the premises are open to the public, surely at the very least it would be easier to open the door and 'sling' it inside.

I will say a good postie is worth their weight in gold, things like if you have a parcel amending their round so they catch you in before you go to work.

Barb,. I only open my trap to change feet! LOL

wmsl, both feet in eh Taff...lol

Aw, Jen, your joking............. really?
Sorry! I've called mine other names apart from Bill as well, but they cant be repeated on here,lol.
As for parcels, I've had to go and collect some too, and they would have fitted through the letterbox, as its as big as my gob!

Morning Taff
pmsl My Dad's name was Bill :))

Morning Jen, Taff

Oh Taff, wmsl!

I used to get on so well with the Postman where I lived before here, nowadays you rarely see them, they deliver after 1pm.

Do feel for them, out in all weather yet perleeeeze, delivery my parcels, get so excited then can't open them.

Oh Jen hun, bet he did look so smart, everyone did.

The milkman too always had time for a chat as we'd gather to see goodies he had. :))

I've called my postie Bill,
as thats all he seems to shove through my letterbox!! LOL

Our normal Postie is great and pops in, says good morning and puts the post on my desk where it should go and life is rosy, this one....!!!!

Your dad was obviously a proper postman Jen, these days I dont think they aren't as dedicated as they used to be to give a good service..I'm sure there must still be good postmen out there before I get shouted at lol...but it's a shame that the Royal Mail have let it get so bad and still say they're losing money.

Good morning Barbara Morning Shimms :))

Barb My Dad was a Postie he even worked Christmas Day on the parcel
delivery up at 4 every morning then a full sack of letters to deliver
back to sorting office then out again for second post
Always looked smart in his uniform and hat
good going for a man the doctors said would never walk again
He could have taught your postman a thing or two lol
Jenxx

Sorry forgetting my manners..lol...Morning Jen, Morning Shimms....

Knock him.....I don't think he was a full shilling...lol

PLEASE dont knock the postman lol

I remember the days we used to get two deliveries in one day Shimms and the postie looked smart, now they walk around in tatty uniforms, wearing earphones and then you don't even get the right post..lol...

I have a card sitting on my desk saying someone has sent us a letter but not put the correct postage on it and I have to put £1. 27 on this card, post it back to them, then they'll post the letter on to us,,,all well and good, but what if it's junk mail, I've wasted my £1. 27p, but what if it's an important letter, someone might have left me something in their will and I will never be traced now and it may be millions...lol

Ours don't even knock on the door nor ring the doorbell for parcels that are too large nor special deliveries ... we have to either phone them to re-deliver or go ourselves to collect.

OH went the other Saturday and there was a queue so long, all complaining about the same thing.

Am sure there are good posties out there, just wish ...

Hey ho ...

The sad thing is I was sent such a special collector's item gift, twas around the time of my daddy, didn't realize and it was sent back to my friend, despite OH going down there to explain.

Our business is located on a high street and we have a shop front style office, with a glass front door, our normal postie opens the door, walks in and puts the post on the desk...simples...the new temporary postie spends five minutes trying to force the mail through the postbox and then I have to go pick it up of the floor. not so simples...
Today after such an event described above, I picked up the post and saw it was for the upstairs flat next door , so I shouts the postie back and says this is not for us, it's for upstairs next door...still following...it gets more complicated....He says well where is 159A, then, I say its the flat upstairs next door, and look the number is there on the door, so he says oh it's for the florists then and I say No the florist is 159, downstairs, this is for the flat upstairs, 159A,........... he then says what number are you then and I say we're 157, and the flat upstairs above us is157A, he then says I think I've got some post for you then, grabs a load of post and walks to the open office door and................ POSTS IT THROUGH THE LETTER BOX and says as he walks of

YOU HAVE TO BE A MEMBER OF MENSA TO FIND THE RIGHT ADDRESS ROUND HERE....
