That's not fair. I haven't worked for them since before Christmas. The fact that the problem of Monday delivery is so widespread this week suggests to me it's a distribution problem, not a delivery problem. So blame Maldon.

What an absolutely disgraceful thread. I have nothing but admiration for our brothers and sisters in the postal service.

This fool got more comic books than a motherfucker!

I think it'll all end up being one delivery a week, as it bloody well feels like that now!

Our delivery used to be 10:00, then it moved back to about 12:30 ish and now it's 15:00 onwards. British service at it's best, I love it  ;)

I don't balme the postie for that, it's the twats in charge. I only blame the postie when he bends a fucking poster tube in half, to get the poster into my letter box. It was the Judge Dredd bus shelter poster as well and now it has a crease all the way down the middle.

I have never forgot that day >:D

When i were a nipper, the post used to come before i left for school in the morning. Nowadays im lucky if we have it before 3pm.

Id be happy if they just admitted it's all gone to shite, went to once a week delivery, but sent you a daily email with a photo of your mail so you could choose to go pick it up if you wanted. At least that way id not spend huge amounts of hours waiting for my postie (who is pete wells's twin brother, by the way) to lightly tap his foot outside my house (the 'postmans knock' of childhood legend) then fire his 'little red slip cannon' through my flap and leg it, making me wait 24-48 hours for it to go the half mile to the depot so im allowed to pick it up.

It's not a once a week service for me, but he does seem to keep all the stuff I actually want until Saturday which is weird. I get bills and bank statements all week long, but things like books, dvds and comics etc. all come in one big bundle at the weekend. Can be annoying. He hasn't pulled the No Knock Red Slip tactic yet though, which was our old postie's specialty. Nothing more annoying.

I manage to avoid the no knock stealth postie now by having everything bigger than a letter sent to work. Also helps with books and the like not having edges bashed as they fall through the letterbox.

I continue to enjoy having a ground-level letterbox, following Usher's comments about how much posties hate them.

Take that!  ;)

To be fair he's probably spending those hours making himself look that good...

Goodness, this letterbox is awfully low to the ground. And it's frightfully wet today. I hope I can keep my grip on this mail as I stoop to get it in the slot. Oh no, the end of this A4 envelope is dipping as I try to line it up...  dipping... and Trout's Prog has gone in the puddle. Oh goshdarn it.
