Royl Mail - no way to question a delivery
I am furious about Royal Mails lack of methods in which to question a missing item.. The customer services email address which i found on this site is no longer in use, so you cant email them.

More GOV.UK incompetence
It is actually now impossible to change your driving licence address and V5 online, or presumably via any other method. I've just moved house and thought - admittedly in contradiction to all experience of public service interactions in the UK - it would be a quick process.
