I take all my outgoing mail to the post office. Apparently, the only thing my mailbox is good for these days is dumping junk advertising into. I tried to mail a letter last week from my home mailbox and the red flag stayed up for two days straight, meaning that no postal worker was there for two days straight. And they're complaining that the postal service is becoming outmoded... no wonder, when the service sucks so badly!<br /><br />BTW, Scriptor, best keep an eye on your postbox in the coming days! Just sayin'. *wink*Marchelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201825708442679157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-91873100906535996662014-12-17T21:08:01.886+00:002014-12-17T21:08:01.886+00:00I must say I agree about the postmen.

Usually if there is anything bigger than a flat A4 envelope in the mail, we just get an advice-note to pick it up at the postoffice (ooops, that nowadays equals the general service counter at the supermarket). <br />As for when the mail gets delivered, that varies a lot here too. Some time between noon & 4 pm... Well I guess I have to consider myself lucky to still get it through the door at all. In some apartment buildings they have all the postboxes downstairs on the ground floor.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-19390384902936089842014-12-07T01:23:00.030+00:002014-12-07T01:23:00.030+00:00Christmas will come whether you manage to do all t...Christmas will come whether you manage to do all the planning and getting things from the loft or not, and maybe you will enjoy it more this year if you do a bit less planning and a bit more letting things go where they will. Sometimes it works out that way.<br /><br />We have the same postal carrier most days, and we are near the end of the route so we don't get mail until after 4pm. The past week, it's already been dark by the time the mail arrived.messymimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649529601786689712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-4508076470966679322014-12-07T00:26:06.208+00:002014-12-07T00:26:06.208+00:00Not a problem up on Lewis where no houses have the...Not a problem up on Lewis where no houses have their numbers showing anyway and, as for example in Coll where I lived before my current abode we were number 22A (because we were the first feu on the croft number 22) and the house next door was number 73 because it was an allotment and their numbers started after all the crofts had been allocated. Not that I expect anyone outwit the Highlands to understand any of that.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-31671170767794671782014-12-07T00:00:23.766+00:002014-12-07T00:00:23.766+00:00We've been really lucky with our postman.

Fortunately it was never necessary, but it was a comforting thought none the less. And on Wednesday, the clerk was fabulous - quick, efficient, and helpful. I almost went out of the post office humming! :) xoxoxo<br />Canadian Chickadeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12995693884248628958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-72589731767728315592014-12-06T21:30:25.111+00:002014-12-06T21:30:25.111+00:00Hi!

I have to go to the end of the street in all weathers, and open the little door to my SuperMailBox, and if there's an ice storm, like just before Christmas last year, I have to wait until the weather warms up before I can get my mail. And no services, either Post Office or delivery, on Saturdays or Sundays.Shammickitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11969803866899076638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-20554585971170853732014-12-05T23:01:41.148+00:002014-12-05T23:01:41.148+00:00I can't believe what I'm reading.."An...I can't believe what I'm reading.."And some of them seem incapable of finding a doorbell, relying on kicking the door to get one's attention"...tell me please on which God-given earth would a postman have the audacity to kick my door to get attention...wow CJ you are good. I would give him a scrubbie and some Soft Scrub to clean the door area he had soiled....wow what nerve.<br />You have piqued my interest in that nosey postman story, I need to track that down. There are always a few that like to nosey through your personal mail and then stamp it "Received Taped" after they have taped it back.
