Thanks Chrissie, you made me laugh - I had the same experience at the beginning of the week - it must be part of there basic training to tap softly and LEG IT! hehehe
I recall the game but don't recall it ever having a title, I expect it did have but I don't recall it.
The regular postie, on the street where I live, doesn't run but he walks very fast and he's always plugged into his MP3 so doesn't hear when called.
I told him the addressee doesn't live at my address, he asked if the address was correct, I said yes he said 'I can't take it back, it's been correctly delivered' What?! lol
It's parcel force that does it to me. When I was a child in Hull it was Knocking of Ginger but we would also tie a piece of string to the door knob with a milk bottle on the other end on a window ledge and knock, or some times tie each end to two door knobs on doors next to each other and knock on both doors. LOL
I don't remember what we! called it around our way when i was a lad but do recall that they! called it ''..get stuffed you little bleeders'' which, whilst not being particularly polite was not nearly as bad as the ''..i know who your parents are''
Knock and Run round here. Talking of knocking....what's all this unappreciative slagging off of Parcelforce, your Postmen/women and other courier firms ??????.
In my 23rd year with Royal Mail now. I have been a Postie for the majority of it but, done Parcel delivery as well. We do a fantastic job for a generally ungrateful public, who don't deserve the service they get. You should see the stuff that has been through our delivery office in the last few weeks !. Oh, but most of you are still in bed when the work is getting done. Still in bed when the parcel mans calls in his van. loaded with hundreds of parcels, which have to be delivered in his shift time, because his bosses have been told to cut the overtime payments out. Then he is stood on "your" step losing valuable time, while "you"
1) can't find your dressing gown/slippers 2) can't find your glasses 3) have to put the dog in the kitchen 4) are unwilling to finish your phonecall 5) look gormlessley through the door, unable to recognise the uniform/van 6) Need to take the cake out of the oven 7) shout from the toilet "who is it?. 8) can't find your keys 9)just can't be "arsed" to get a wriggle on etc etc
Then ask "what is it?", when YOU bloody ordered it???. Give us a break!!!!. Some of the Courier firms are on owner driver contracts and have to deliver 70 parcels each day BEFORE they start making any money/bonus payments to cover thier costs. We are talking just a few pence each item. Duhrrrr, maybe thats why they don't hang around waiting for you lot to, finally, answer the door ???
Probably have families to feed and bills to pay too. Try delivering 70 parcels and see how long it takes
As for wrongly addressed letters, Royal Mail are obliged by law to deliver mail "as addressed". Your Postie probably knows who lives at your address if he is your regular. He probably knows if a letter is for a previous occupier etc, but, he HAS to deliver the letter by law, or possibly/probably lose his job. The mail is regarded as "The Queens Mail" until it is delivered to you and for that reason, your Postie is not "obliged" to take any mail wrongly addressed/delivered back, from you. Although a lot will. If you want to stop any mail for previous occupiers etc. Contact your local delivery office and ask them to deliver only mail for the persons listed at the address and clarify/list who they are. They may make the odd mistake in future but that is HUMAN, and that is why they put "rubbers/erasers" on pencils...because people make mistakes
Rant over!!! Hope you all had a good christmas....you moaning gits
