Poor OP! All they're trying to do get the mail back to them. I know it's not strickly 'legal' but she's trying to do them a favour.

I am also 'guilty' of opening mail not addressed to me. In my case, the letter was offering a student a place on a course. I visited all my neighbours in the nearest vicinity and asked them if they were the person it was addressed to with no luck. I then sent the letter back to the university letting them know that the address was wrong. I hope I didn't do the wrong thing but I felt that ignoring it would have been worse.

Somebody opened a card and letter I had sent (not addressed to them), and phoned me to tell me a friend had died.


The person who opened the card was the new owner of my friend's house.


Although obviously I was sad to get the news, I was grateful to the person for opening the card and then taking the trouble to phone me.

Postal Services Act 2000, section 84(3) - "A person commits an offence if, intending to act to a person?s detriment and without reasonable excuse, he opens a postal packet which he knows or reasonably suspects has been incorrectly delivered to him."


Whereas the people here who've opened mail sent to an unknown person at their address seem to have had no intention to act to the addressee's detriment, and to have had a very reasonable excuse.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Sue · Posted

      The country didn't "hate Corbyn". Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer, if memory serves, and it was only due to our weird electoral system that they didn't win the previous election. Any hatred of Corbyn was whipped up by the right wing press. The Labour Party has completely lost its way. It doesn't seem to know what it stands for any more, and its members have deserted it in droves. Including me. Anyway, this is probably for the lounge, not being directly relevant to the subject of the thread.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      Agree but Labour made a far worse start and the wheels seem to be falling off spectacularly quickly. Whatever the reason for Reeves' tears it made the markets very jittery and now there is real doubt about how much longer she will last but Starmer cannot afford to lose her - I think they are both toast and the likes of Rayner and Streeting will be licking their chops. A bit like what is happening with Cllr McAsh locally the internal politics of the Labour party always are the real driver of policy, direction and execution and for a government with such a huge majority to be struggling so much so early is really worrying. We should all be very scared because this is paving the way for Reform and a leadership challenge or swing to the farther-left within Labour would be an unmitigated disaster - we had another term of Boris because the country hated Corbyn and his far-left ideology and the far-left Labour may see a leadership challenge as their only feasible way to take the reigns - a bit like Cllr McAsh and his Momentum buddies.

      Does any one own this tabby tom cat ?

      By Jld · Posted

      He has been around for a few months now and looks so sad and unhappy   ,he is coming into the gardens at the top end of  Upland and  Dunstans Roads .Just wondered if he is owned as he is not neutered and keeps getting into fights with cats .

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      Starting with Brexit, all the way through to drunken lock down parties, and then finishing on Liz Truss' 'mini budget', I would say it was fairly disastrous from start to finish.
