In an average week how many pieces of post do you get that are for your house number

[Curmudgeon]

but not your road.

This week I counted 4

You?

None this week but 1 last week. We get post for a different house number but on same road more often. About 1 per week on average.

Curmudgeon, you Andy Warhol fan you. I've read the diaries too.

I have lost count Curmudg.

This week though someone actually bothered to give me back some of my post that had been misdelivered to them.

I did try having my post stopped at the sorting office, which you might think would be foolproof. But there were days when they were still delivering to the house. It was starting to look as though the one way to get your post delivered, was to ask them to keep it at the sorting office.

Favourite recent moment: finding a recorded delivery parcel stuffed through the door without any attempt to get a signature - not the first time they have either done this, or left a recorded packet/letter with neighbours without getting a signature. Very reassuring particularly when they left one parcel with a family of local criminals; finding a parcel just left on the doorstep.

The chaps in the sorting office at Peckham I have dealt with are obviously trying to keep on top of the mayhem though. They are very helpful. It does seem to be the case that the service goes to hell when they have agency staff filling in. It's the relief postpersons who have been responsible for delivering recorded/registered letters and parcels without bothering to get a signature.

3 this week, including one where a recorded delivery label had been ripped off and to finish the week today we got the neighbours post as well as our own.
