Royal Mail - Christmas 2010 {sarcastic}

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Royal Mail and Postal Staff for their efforts over Christmas.

This year we only lost £90 worth of stuff in the mail, a vast improvement on 2009 where over £400 worth of purchases and presents went missing.

This year our losses were:
1: 4 (out of 8) cards with £10 notes in - 3 of which were sent 'signed for' £40
2: Necklace from H Samuel online £25
3:Sylvanian Families figures (Amazon) £14
4: and, ironically, "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves" (Amazon) on blu ray (£11.00)

May I also congratulate God for disrupting Postal Rounds with snow - forcing part of the opportunistic and dishonest Royal Mail staff component to chuck sickies. This stroke of genius limited their access to steal the goods in transit bought by hard working people up and down the land.

Finally, it warms the heart that such efforts were made by postal workers to keep up the delivery of door-to-door Domino Pizza and double glazing type leaflets in such adverse weather. It would have been nice if they had made as much effort with the paying public's mail, but I guess that does not pay a bonus.

Happy New Year Royal Mail Staff. May the hands of those that thieve from the mail become painfully severed in 2011.

exactly what bonus are postal staff getting for delivering the D2D's?

When I'm paying a fiver for a 'guaranteed next day service' that's one hell of a caveat.......

Sure, the next day component of the 'next day' Special Delivery Service was suspended. I trust that clarifies matters.

I must have used the wrong word (withdrawn) thinking about those idol, thieving postal workers 'withdrawing' my goods and money from the mail.

Please accept my apologies for confusing you and distracting the thread from the key point of how much stuff gets stolen by postal workers every year.

I do hope they have another strike next year. It will give me a chance to drive past them on the picket lines and throw stones at them.
