    If it was only sent 1st class I doubt they'll do anything. You have to send stuff recorded delivery to have any guarentee of compensation!

    If you write an extra nice complaint letter, you might be lucky enough to receive a book of 1st class stamps!!

    Quite alot of post gets lost!

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)
