Postal deliveries

Is it just me, or has anyone else in the Valence Road area experienced a less than reliable postal service recently? I've only had deliveries on three days last week (maybe nobody's sent me anything) and when things do occasionally arrive, they're shoved through with such force they're often bent. It used to be such a good service before privatisation.

A colleague told me her boyfriend, who was a postman, used to turn up for work, collect his sack of post, go home, bung it in the loft and go back to bed.
He did this for several months.
Eventually he was found out, his loft ransacked and he went to prison.
This was a few years ago now. So maybe he's out of prison now and up to his old tricks again.

It's hardly being 'up against it' having a bit of extra mail to deliver.
They're not working in A&E under dangerously short staffed conditions or fighting a war. That's what I'd call being 'up against it'. They're just, like, delivering mail...........

I got my post in the end, a day late. First class seems to be a bit hit and miss these days.

Glad I'm not the only one who has noticed a decline in service. My postman shoves post in the letterbox nearest to him and expects neighbours to then deliver post to correct addresses.
