Royal Mail , signed for . What’s the point

I had words with one of our regular Evri's the other day ... NICE words ... but words.

He dropped yet another package, and (before he could knockdown-ginger us) I ran to the door ... he said "I placed it there."

I laughed, friendly, like, and said "... come on, mate ... you know that you dropped it. I watched you do it."

This was all jovial, he was smiling, and could tell that we (mum had come to the door at this point) weren't trying to get him in trouble ... but ... these things could be electronics goods, or fragile, and this isn't great.

He said something about being on the clock, and time spent per delivery ... but ... honestly? That's a fucking terrible response. I mean, it might be true, and Evri might be slave driving, and fucking let's get Mark Thomas on the case down Evri head quarters.

But ... yeah ... it saves .0000004 seconds to lean down a little further to not drop a package ...

...

... and it's actually QUICKER than chucking it over the fence like they sometimes do!

From what I've heard from Couriers it's true, one told me every parcel they take back they loose money, I bet they get treated like crap and have to work there arse off to earn a reasonable wage, I wouldn't do it even if I was 20, no way I'd be racing round like an idiot for poor wages

No excuse to drop it on floor as you say, that's just stupid

Well Post Office still closed at 3pm with road being dug up, I messaged seller about pipe bender and said I guess you sent mine to the other buyer from same day, I got a reply and basically called a liar, they said the photo of the one I received wasn't one they sent as they sent clean ones not damaged and rusty yet it matches the photo of the model they sold and he said no one else complained, who does he think he is, Dave Petty

So I thought clearly I ain't gonna get the one I bought, this was sold for £20 more so I'll resell it and make some money but now I have to wait for another I want to come up for sale

Just finished changing Timing belt on car, I thought dare I try starting it on a day like this but what the heck, end the day with a bang, well something gone okay because it still starts and runs so happy about that at least the 12+ year old belt still looked absolutely fine, tension pulley was also
