Why not just get yourself typewriter?

I think a printer would be far cheaper not to mention the cost of the paper having to start again every time you make a mistake :eek: My Son can't believe that in my day there was no delete button :rotfl:

I'm thinking I might have to resort to that at some point - and send it Recorded Delivery AND with "proof of posting".

.

I would use Special Delivery Track & Trace service from Post office. Recorded delivery does not guarantee seen by recipient

With https://www.royalmail.com/track-your-item you can see just where it is and when it arrived, on line, and more importantly maybe, see an electronic copy of signature of whoever signed for receipt

I have found it gets there next day, as everyone, including the postie, knows it is being tracked and monitored

Costs about £3 from memory

WRT the mobile phone issue, you may have the correct number, but if the recipient blocks you, your texts wont land. The same is true of email.

Although "tech savvy" people who don't want to be tracked will disable email pixel tracking on their browsers/devices.

I didn't know that service existed (or, to be more accurate, vague stirrings are there in my mind from years back when I was working). Think I had to do it a few times - but had forgotten about it and would have assumed it was only for work contexts anyway. Thanks for the reminder.

Will bear it in mind if need be. Thanks.

Will have a go at that link to add that.

Though I do know the person concerned "knows a man who can" that is VERY tech-savvy and would do that for him if he can't himself - if that's what he decided on.
