No, don't nick cheques. People like me get it in the neck then from people who have had them go missing!

Seems a shame that the entire postal service is tarred with the same brush, but I regularly get mail for the wrong houses etc...
I heard that registered and/or recorded mail was 10 times more likely to go missing or be tampered with - as there is a much higher probablility of it having (untraceable) vouchers etc such as with Birthday cards.

On the flip side, a friend of mine is a postie and he aks people where they work, so that if there is anything that won't fit in their letter box, he drops it round to them at work. Can't get much better than that!

why am i not supprised you see all sorts when you are working in the office before you go out on delivery,for some reason the sorting machines give me stuff for scotland they read the post codes and a 5 gets confused with a 9 very often hence i get stuff for scotland,you cant beat the mk1 eye ball

he did dan he seems to have grasped the idea a bit more.next week will be his baptism of fire.judging from his performance i think it will take him about 5 to 6 hours to do the delivery,the preparation will be the thing he finds the hardest.there is more to the job than meets the eye.im going to enjoy my week off.
