Letters to the courier

Post by sonofuberman »

Are these letters made up?
I can't think of any organisation, bar maybe the police, that has as many w*****s in it, if these letters aren't made up by management!!
Everyone in my place who reads the courier and doesn't put it straight in the bin, takes the piss. It cannot be real!
Have you ever written to or had a letter publishes by the Courier??? :wave

I had a letter published. And it was not a complimentary one neither.
I cant tell you what it was about though, because it would lead to me being identified.
Just spilt stain-remover down my shirt. Now how do I get that out?

I'm sure that the letters are made up by ex- political party spin doctors or the same people that make up the stories that appear in the 'agony' columns of certain low-brow tabloids. The answers are farmed out via inmates of Broadmoor; no-one else could be that delusional or away with the fairies? Merely a PR exercise in lies, obfuscation and condescending bullshit. :hmmmm :cfo

Have you noticed how all the posties in the pics have perfect uniforms, clean vans, pressed uniforms, and empty pouches as well ?

....Then they totally ignore the problem and spout some b*llocks instead. Like all the complaints about the elastic bands, instead of acknowledging the problem they just produced an article that said they should last 12 months :left:

Or the one asking when the last time we got an increase in D2D payments was, they replied by saying we get paid more now as there are more D2D contracts to deliver - but never actually answered the question.

And the one about the trousers being cheap and turning purple in the wash, well they should last 2 years apparently, 'if washed at a low temperature'. yeah ok... :left:

low temperature - what cold water in the bath ? - using what sort of washing powder / liquid / tablets / soap ? - it's cheap indigo dye full stop - that's why they run - they are stupid politician's answers
