Just got todays post and one of my large letters had on it the following just above my address in large writing for all to see

'Tues 2nd
before 10
p.off / smart'

Dont expect to be taking part for much longer as everyone at post office now knows that i am taking part. Have informed TNS but this is not the first time it has happened although last time it was much more discrete. Very annoyed

that is such a shame...not your fault at all but as the receiver you are likely to be spotted as a panelist...and possibly removed from the panel...

It hopefully will serve as a reminder to all that its not acceptable to write the details of posting on the items sent.

Contrary to your post title, I think that, sadly, most of us would believe it.

After being rested for 6 months I received an email asking if I would like to start again - I replied yes.
Heard nothing so phoned. She said she would get someone to look into it.
Received an email saying I would definitely not be starting again. Following week I received my retraining package and have been happily posting ever since!!

I received my second set of training envelopes to post today.

This is bad and the sender should be kicked of for not following the rules. I use postits to remind me what is going when, easy to remove and discreet unlike writing on an envelope.

Big mistake.....unless you actually want to come off.

Maybe but i would rather do that so they can get correct results. Would not have had to do anything if people could read their training info correctly

Just a note to people to say that post-it notes aren't foolproof either, because it's dependent on the poster remembering to peel it off before they post it.

I received one last week with a post-it still firmly attached to the front of the envelope. The bizarre thing was that despite having this reminder the poster had still managed to post it on the wrong day, the post-mark was a day earlier than the posting day on the post-it :eek:

I really don't understand what's so difficult about referring to the posting schedule when you pick up the letters you're posting that day. I keep my letters for the week with the posting schedule for that week. It's not taxing to just check the schedule against the letters you have for each day you're required to post. Re-writing on the envelope or on a post-it might cut down on one or two pages of "temporary paperwork / clutter" but when you think about it, it's not likely to be a huge time saver in the grand scheme of things.

What I also find strange is the fact that people using these methods tend to copy out the posting details as they appear on the schedule. For example, "M" to most people would be a sufficient reminder that you need to post on Monday (rather than "Mon") and would be less of a giveaway if it was inadvertently left on the envelope; using an extra "O" for Post Office postings would not raise as many eyebrows as an envelope / post-it that has "post box" or "post office" written on it. I personally wish people would not use aids like this or would take more care when using them.

I use to have a spare calender that i kept upstairs and wrote the posting on that, so it didnt get in the way of family appointments etc, x

You've probably been asked this before but have you ever encountered the Smart labelled LEJC? Enquiring minds need to know.

I am now on the lookout for this one too! We should have a wee competition to see who can find it first - little amuses the innocent! :rotfl: :rotfl:
