A story in this morning's Metro made me smile. Apparently a postcard addressed to a couple in East Dulwich has just arrived, 79 years after it was posted. I know our sorting offices get a lot of stick from frustrated forumites, but surely this is a record, even by their standards...


I can't find a link to the Metro article but here's the Torygraph's report: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/2575059/Postcard-turns-up-79-years-late.html

Well it's amazing it arrived at all - I posted a vintage postcard to my sister-in-law for her birthday last year, stupidly not putting it in an envelope, and it never arrived - I assume it was nicked en route from the East Dulwich postbox I posted it in to her East Dulwich address.

    • Last year I ordered a coffee grinder as a Christmas present, to be sent to a friend in a Greece. The order was made in mid-November. Unfortunately, the retailer sent it by UPS. There started a grindingly frustrating two months of being caught in the Möbius Loop of UPS bureaucracy and incompetence. They kept claiming that the address couldn’t be found and despite having two telephone numbers, not once did they phone the recipient. Then I changed the delivery to an estate agent’s office in the nearby main village, situated on the main street with clear address, telephone numbers  and signs. Again, they claimed not to be able to find the address, which was farcical. Yet again, they made no attempt to phone to check. Eventually, the parcel was delivered at the end of January and yes, a vital part was broken. It was clear that the parcel was lying around in a depot and was chucked in a corner to be covered with other boxes and packets. When I tried to claim the cost of replacing the broken part, they indulged in the sort of passive aggressive stalling that corporate behemoths like them are so good at. Eventually I gave up and took the spare part with me when visiting. I have to say that they are the worst company I’ve ever dealt with, along with Scottish Power. I wouldn’t trust them to deliver anything and make sure I tell anyone who wants to listen that they should avoid them like the plague!
    • what? banging a saucepan not enough for these ungrateful so called "doctors"???
    • Niko is responsive, professional, efficient and super friendly. He fit me in late in the day for an important job . We had a leaking pipe under the sink which was going into the downstairs flat. He didn’t just fix the leak but checked the boiler, pulled out the washing machine and checked all the pipes, he really went the extra mile. Cannot recommend him enough.
