    I've been at my current address 4 years. In that time I've not received a minimum of 20 items of post I know I should have received (and that's just the stuff I know about). I've repeatedly come home to see letters thrown in the porch as the postman couldn't be bothered putting them through the actual letter box (including letters stamped "Private & Confidential). Parcels left on the step, sorry we missed you noticed where they didn't even bother to try deliver it

    So no, I won't be tipping my post man

    So the postman left the packet at the door, you dont like it, he left you a "sorry we missed you" you didnt like it, hmmm. and your lucky to get the mail put in the porch, because as a law, the letter box is supposed to be at the first door, either on or outside, he is not due to open any door to get to a letterbox as it, believe or not, is trespassing, say the door fell when he opened it, say he slipped on tiles inside, he gets the bolliking from the company, then gets another for being out on sick leave, if hurt. But as with everything, everything is grand, till it's not.

    As Barone says, last day for tips tomorrow, as we fly to Lichtenstein on the 26th to lodge our christmas tip booty in the tax free offshore account that's set up for retirement. But we'll still accept them in the New Year, hahahaaa!
    Or you'll never get a wrongly addressed important letter again, but a bill, yes.
    Happy Christmas to all Contributers on this thread begrudging and otherwise, especially the Posties, have a good one!
