andy before you bar me this isnt a dig at posties it one a fat f***** a******* we have when i stayed in land of weig (glasgow) we got our post between 7.30-9.00 when we moved here we used to get it round about 9.00 nice old boy from the village but he took a heartattck an we got this nob who has been doing the round for a year and the earliest we get our post is anywhere between 14.00-17.30 iv just had my post with a card saying i wasnt in (where the hell am i meant to go as im stuck in the house most days) so iv been waiting on parts for 2cv engine to finish so got my son togo round the village to get him to try and get the parcel guess what the fat b***** didnt have it on him so now someone needs togo up to the sorting office in the morning to get parts for me to finish first thing as the boy is going away with it tomorrow to fit one of these engines take about 1-1/2 hours so he should be ok but it isnt the bloody point
his father runs the bloody sorting office so it is a waste of time moaning to him

Our post arrives any time from 1000am to 4.30pm.  We don't have a regular postie any more, they seem to send us all the really thick ones.  Had to sign for a parcel the other day while I was trying to talk to someone, it took the postie about 5 mins to find the right bit of paper and get it the right way up, then he didn't have a pen!

And this isn't a dig at posties either - more at the Post Office!

we have a yank delivering ours usually arrives between 12 - 1 on saturdays usually around 11. this all changes on his days off during the week/weekend. i assume he's a yank he's got a yank sounding accent, do they sounds american fron canada.

Late delivery times are down to the Post Office normally. Change of routes and shift patterns I think.

The practice of carding when you have not got the package in your bag gets on my tits. It will be why the post office goes bust.

It's done because then they don't have to carry it back again.


I caught my postie doing this when he was supposed to be delivering a package to me. I heard him shut the gate after carding as he had not knocked on the door. When I caught up with him it transpired he did not have the package and assumed no one would be in to sign for it.      (I'd been waiting in for it)

Don't use the post office now unless I have to and probably never will if I can help it.

Well someone has to be the last to get the post, not everyone can get it at the same time
