Here we go, a 'nice' comment on a recent entry from someone, which I'll reproduce here for greater visibility:


Subject: Have you got nothing better to do than moan and criticise??
Remember your ordeal with royal mail in 2006? the burly manager happens to be my partner. he hates rugby and people with long hair. whilst he agrees that royal mail are not perfect he at least appreciates that royal mail would not exist without people who get their arses out of bed at 3am in the morning to go to work!!! unlike some idle arseholes who think the world owes them a living. If you care to examine your entries for the past two years, you seem to have done nothing but winge and moan about things that happen to annoy you. Have you ever thought about getting off your arse and contributing something positive to society?? Unfortunately because my partner is conscientious about his JOB we spared time to read your drivvle but now we must get on with living. Ciao for now - hope that doesn't annoy you too much either!!!! Kate


Hmm. Somehow 'Kate' appears to have missed that I do actually have a job, and seems to think that people shouldn't complain when Royal Mail repeatedly fails to do its job just because they get up at 3am. That is no excuse. Postmen weren't conscripted into the position against their will. All people like myself are asking of Royal Mail, is TO DO ITS JOB. ie. Deliver goods to people. Don't pre-write "you weren't in" notes and drive off before you can be challenged. Don't claim you've redelivered something when you clearly haven't. Don't forge signatures (which I saw done again yesterday, to my next-door neighbour) to avoid doing what you're paid for, ie. collecting them from the recipient. Don't repeatedly fail to scan in the items going through your recorded system when that is the entire point of it being recorded. Don't claim you have the item at the office, ask the intended recipient to phone up the next Monday at 6am to request a redelivery, and then indignantly tell them when they do phone up that the item is actually in Belfast, and act like it's their fault. And don't lie to the regulator Postwatch to try and cover up for this ridiculous and repeated incompetence. (Which I have evidence of.)

A Royal Mail that chooses not to bother to deliver packages is like a doctor that doesn't care if you get well or a utility provider that has no interest in whether it's actually supplying anything. It's worse than pointless, it's actually a hindrance. Possibly the best thing I could contribute to society at the moment is getting some of the bad postmen sacked.
