    Well seeing as Recorded doesn't exist, I wouldn't have used it either.
    I thought that with you be an ex-postie, you would have known that Recorded was changed to "Signed for" and that when taking others to task over their terminology, you would at least endeavour to make sure that you get it right.

    Why? Its the wrong service.

    and I have handled more than you will ever receive. Many poorly or unsealed.

    Just to clarify as I'm not sure of your point.

    Are you praising this as it's easier to nick from?

    In the 40 plus years of receiving post that has not been sealed with tape, I can safely say that out of the thousands of pieces of mail I have received 0 of them have accidentally come open.

    It is far more likely that the vouchers were stolen. This is based on the testimony of a postman (ex) who has informed us that Mail, that looks like it is valuable, is at risk of being opened and stolen by Royal Mail employees.

    Sorry,Maybe I'm typing too fast for you.
    I will type slower.
    The quote at the top with your username is what you wrote(remember?)
    You make a statement of never having had an envelope that accidentally opened. In your experience.
    I added that I have seen many.
    You based your hypothesis on your experience.
    Do you understand?

    And just to clarify. I made a post,not a testimony.
