Obv I don’t want to get too deep into privatisation weeds as we don’t want to get into the dreaded (whispers) politics in this comm. But I’m interested to know if other people are noticing the postal service deteriorating.
Mail for other houses (my door number is clearly marked)… delivery timelines missed… then the icing on the cake, had a delivery that was supposed to come up to Newcastle delivered while I’m not at home, they left it in a ‘safe place’ despite one not being designated.
Want to hear what the ‘safe place’ was? Out on the street, jammed behind a random neighbours wheelie bin! So yeah that’s £110 of new clothes gone to some lucky local who swiped it. Boooo, Royal Mail, booooo!
To counteract the whinge, I just made a banging pizza almost from scratch. Success!
Now that you mention it, I have recently started occasionally getting next door’s post through my letterbox although I’m pretty sure I have the same postwoman as before!
