Well that’s a novel approach. I’d received the usual text notifications from the Royal Mail that they had a parcel for me which would be delivered between 9.03 and 1.03 and that it needed to,be signed for. All good because I’m expecting a parcel. Came out 0f the bathroom to find postie had been with letters being on the floor. Ok, so I checked outside on the porch, no parcel. I’m just having a coffee and I get another text from RM saying that they’ve delivered my parcel. You have? I think and I’m on my way to the front doo to see if I’d missed it on the porch or something and I’m just about to click through to the tracking to see if there’s any information. Then the doorbell rings. I open the door almost immediately because, as noted above, I was on my way to the door already. I see the departing back of the postie* as he disappears down the drive. Odd. I look down and on the doorstep is the needs to be signed for parcel for which I received the delivered notification 4 minutes ago. </rant>
*Im not sure if it’s the same chap but the postie is doing strange things at the moment. He arrives at our end of the road in his van and then wanders around with a sack of letters, posting them through everyone’s door. Then 20 or 30 minutes later he then does the same route with a sack of smallish parcels. I don’t know if this is a personal initiative by this one particular postie or if it’s a clever effort saving ruse developed as the brainchild of a newly appointed MBA somewhere.
