Has anyone else had trouble with the Christmas post? Have just been told about a card + papers that I sent from Lordship Lane. When recieved it had obviously been opened and the contents taken, and, even odder, an entirely different set of papers enclosed. My elderly friend was very surprised and worried to recieve a summons addressed to someone completely different

A birthday card sent to me from Coventry took over a week to arrive and when it finally got here, someone had slit it open carefully along the top and then resealed it with sellotape. We have no idea why it was opened as there was nothing inside or any kind of embossing or badge on the card which would make anyone think there was.

I imagine it's impossible to know where in the delivery process it happened. Also it could have been delivered to the wrong house, someone opened it and then put it back in the post box or through the door.

I probably would take very nice photos and Facebook them if you wanted a general solution.


Contacting the local office would get a union based claim that if we employed Christmas staff all year round on twice the salary with 60 days holiday this wouldn't occur.


Neither practical nor affordable for the price of a first class stamp.

I told the Post Office in LL and they were very sympathetic and even lent me their phone to contact Customer Services. When I finally got through they were completely useless. Didn't want to know. Told me it had to be the recipient who complained not the sender. Tried their website - useless agian

It was pouring with rain on Friday(14th) when my post was delivered. All the envelopes were soggy and frayed and had come apart along the bottom edge,so that they were very nearly open. Could that be what had happened to your post SebsC?

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
