Note from our postman

Scrawled on junk mail for previous owners:

"Can you please get a box or container to put your packets in as you are never in and I then have to carry them for quite a few miles. Thank you. Postie Joe"

But I thought delivering parcels was your job? We're "never in" because we both work full time. You can leave parcels (today a paperback book in padded enveloped) with our neighbour, but not in a box (or on our step as today) as it is not secure. Or you can just leave them at the depot and leave us a card. But then that would kinda defeat the point of having a postal service, which is paid for by the sender, which then employs you Postie Joe.

COME BACK SEXY SHORT WEARING IN WINTER SURFER DUDE POSTMAN - WE MISS YOU (even Husband)!

I find it very irritating the way the whole world still assumes someone should be at home during the day. well maybe not the whole world, but the postal service, the gas man, the window cleaner, delivery people. surely a large proportion of the population must work full time?

So true!
Here you will get your gas/elec cut off if you don't let the company in to read your meter at least 4 times a year...so you have to give them a key unless you promise to be in all the time...
But thanks, MM, you did make me laugh (in a so true sort of way!)
