There was a lot about these 'pretend' attempts to deliver parcels in the news just before Christmas.

It is rubbish of them, but it isn't all of them. When you do get a good regular postman (as we seem to at the moment) it makes a lot of difference. I do get the feeling though that someone seems hell bent on ruining the post office and royal mail deliberately. If Amazon and Ebay hadn't come along when they did I think they would already be sunk!

I am at the point where I begrudge them my money when I have to post something and I REALLY begrudge having to spend one second in that post office above WH Smiths. Although the Catford Post office did its best to lose me as a customer today.....
