Angry Our wonderful post office

Just got my mail a few minutes ago, just 1 single item, hand addressed, 2nd class stamp, I open the envelope which wasn't sealed just folded in, low and behold its a Christmas Card, on the envelope it says it was posted at 7.50am on 04.12.10, so its only taken the Post Office 37 days to deliver an item posted not half a mile from my home, wonderful

Obviously ! The Country is in melt down ! The discontent of the masses will sweep across the land in the form of revolt & rampage lead by rabid unions & their herds of sheeple ! Disruption, civil disobedience with violence, picket lines & violent clashes with instruments of the establishment will be the food of the revolutionaries. Exalted, praised & encouraged by their Marxist leaders, red flags flying, some on here ( you know who you are ) in their militant mode will rejoice the revolution !

That being the case & the glorious rule of Socialism being ushered in & a new & golden era, all men (& I believe Women) will be equal ! So you will no longer have a Postie to deliver your post you'll be taking turns in picking it up from TPPC (The Peoples Post Collective) & delivering it yourself to your Brothers & Sisters of the Party in their Collectives & Communes !
Incidentally you won't even get minimum wage, it'll be a bottle of Vodka & a handful of Roubles to take back to your Hovel, as the state will cover your needs Komradski Jay !

Think they tried all that in a place called Russia, they found out it didn't work.

I know this, You know this & quite a few other sane Folk know this ......... But, there are still some misguided souls out there who haven't quite grasped that yet & for the life of me I can't think why ?

I'm still waiting on some post (Oct 2nd 2010) as I mentioned on the "man sends lottery ticket by mail " thread. Think it is in that great unexplored vortex known as the Post office main sorting shed ! That or some lazy Postie slung it over a hedge somewhere !

Re: Our wonderful post office

Posted my brother in law birthday card beginning of December, which never arrived. Got a complaints form from post office, filled it in and ready to drop of tomorrow. Received a phone call from him this afternoon saying he'd received it today. Wonder if it was from the same postbox jaysay. (Posted mine at Lancaster Ave)

Re: Our wonderful post office

I received a parcel from Canada for Christmas, post marked in canada on 6th December, Franked in Preston England on the 12th December, delivered to my address on 29th December so it took longer to get from Preston than it did to get to Preston from Canada, still I suppose I did receive it in the first delivery after Christmas so shouldn't really complain.
