Default Royal Mail

Just been informed by Royal Mail that our business post collection will now be collected at 4.15 instead of 4.45. I assume this is to give the driver more time to sit in his van near the entrance to our site and go to sleep. I kid you not, after the posties has collected the letters and parcels he sits an chills in his van for about 30 minutes, the other month when it was hot he was sunbathing on his bonnet

Our postman seems to bring the post whenever he feels like it... Some days it is here at 8am, some days it turns up at 11.

The only thing I can be sure of is that if I am expecting a parcel that won't fit though the letterbox, no matter what time I stay in until, it will arrive when I am out.

Our postie at home is normally really good, he generally leaves stuff hidden for us so when we get home we have no idea something has been delivered

I have to go against the flow. Royal MAil is great. It nearly always comes on time and if you miss it or you are out. The local collection places is never more than a few minutes away.
All other delivery companies suck.

Is he in a 7.5ton van? if so it's probably due to the tachograph that he needs to sun bath for 30mins.

Nope, just one of the little van type things that is more of a car.

Royal Mail can kiss my arse - they're a complete shower of s***e.

There was NO post delivered to my street (and I assume other local streets too) for a shade under two weeks because of 'abnormal sickness on behalf of the delivery agents' or some crap like that.

Useless, useless company.
