A little matter I would like advice on. I have just started at a local firm and the postman who delivers there is a past colleague of my husband. When they worked together this chap and his brother made a lot of trouble for oh at work which ended in oh trying to take his life. He was an alcoholic at the time which i admit contributed but a lot of what they did contributed too. The brother was emplyed by my new firm for 8 years but was sacked last year for stealing. I really cant stand either of them but the postman is obviously a favourite with my boss so I did not mention anything.
But the boss told me yesterday that when i do the post just to put local letters in envelopes without stamps as this postman takes them into the office and gets other postmen to deliver them foc. I was amazed as this bloke thinks he is so much better than my husband. I told oh and he said what he is doing is basically a sackable offence as it is depriving Royal Mail of income. He told me to keep quiet but am so tempted to shop him. I wont but what does anyone think. OH was a good postman and even though he had problems with the drink it never affected his job and he never did anything he was not supposed too.

Rose Im sure this sort of thing goes on all over. I'm not saying it's right. Just that it probably does.

Think of your job, your new boss might not be best pleased if it came to light that you got his friend in trouble and increased his postage costs.

Think of the man's family (if he has one) they didn't do anything to your OH and would suffer if he lost his job, just like your family suffered because of him.

Revenge isn't sweet at all and you'd probably feel terrible after you did it.

It worked on the Millionaires on Saturday for me - it must have changed with the new M's collection

Has this ever been 50 p in A but comparing at higher cost than paid?

I wonder if this signals all of them going up in price in M

Surely questions would start to be asked if letters began arriving without stamps? If I were to send out mail to customers without stamps they would soon start wondering what was happening.

Another thought I had would be would these "friendly postmen" start taking advantage of the rules of sending unstamped mail. Could they somehow pocket the money that people have to pay to get unstamped mail released by asking on the doorstep? This practice would certainly upset anyone you are sending mail to, especially if it happened on a regular basis.

I think what I am trying to say is you have worked long and hard to get to this position, you do not want to end up losing your job over uncovering a dodgy practice which may well be uncovered naturally anyway.

Good afternoon everyone,
I am currently renting in Shropshire whilst looking to buy a house, just wondering if any of the ELITE live near Kidderminster/Wolverhampton/Stourbridge areas and can advise me of the good areas to buy in.

TIA

Not sure how wide a radius you mean, and I am no expert (do not live there) but ....
In Wolverhampton - Compton is nice.
Also, in that very general area -Tenbury Wells is nice, but might be too far away from the areas you are talking about (about 20 mins from Kidderminster?).
ps Hello everyone, just back from a work trip to London
