I never quite "get" the concern over timing of postal deliveries:


1. Most post, or at least my post, seldom contains anything of real importance or time critical.


2. Even if it does - how many people open a letter and immediately sit down and respond to the contents?


3. As long as the post arrives on a daily basis - surely we're OK? Post falls thru' letterbox, pick it up, open, read, take action if needed - anything from whooping with joy over big cheque from lottery / premium bonds / fairy godmother, writing back to granny with thank you note for the ?5 present, crying over the "Dear John" dumping and, very often, including dumping the junk mail into the bin / recycling bag,

I'm sure Royal Mail would be delighted to bring them back, if people were willing to pay very very very much more for a stamp to cover the staff costs ..... which they aren't :)


ETA: In some countries you have to go and collect all your mail yourself, so we are lucky to have it delivered to our homes and offices at all, I think!

The bad smell you are talking about here is about what has being going on here for many years I should say. And don't feel too confident because you don't know anything what others are after. Sorry but you need to be careful from now on because you already stink in the area for a few people Mr Mackenzie. No wonder why your cars get damage and so many enemies in the area. Now understand thanks to some of them.
Had a chat with the regular Marmora Rd postie today - top feller by the way. He's been away the last couple of weeks and we've had 'casual staff' doing his round. When he returned to work on the 15th he'd been left with a couple of days worth of backlog to deliver. Hence the late delivery times. Give him a break, eh?

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
