Subject: RE: BS: Hey Mr Postman
Hi Gnu et al

<" There is a problem with a human who puts a letter in a mailbox that belongs at a DIFFERENT ADDRESS in a DIFFERENT TOWN.">

That is what I was trying to say. Having worked myself as a "Christmas Postman" when I was a student I got to learn all about sorting etc etc.
But when I took the mail out, as I could read I used to find the occasional mistake but Ididn't deliver them but took them back to the sorting office.

And remember this isn't just happening with one letter. We have had several delivered wrongly and others that should have come to us have been brought to us by the kind recipients.

The point I am making is that the mail deliverer either can't read or can't be bothered to do so.

For instance, could it be that the postman is not English and does not read the language that well??

Becca I have taken the letter to the sorting office and complained about the other mis-deliveries too. They have " promised to look into it."

Mind you they had one guy who seemed to deliver all his mail very quickly. After complaints from people that hadn't received mail that they expected they checked him out.........He was "delivering his mail in dust bins, and he even stuffed loads of letters down a drain!!!

We will see eh?

Cheers
