The Photo was probably taken by a Press Photographer. But that doesn't mean that they were all misdelivered on the Saturday.sevenandseven wrote:Always sceptical of stories that appear in local papers or on web sites. Perhaps she did receive 21 misdeliveries in one go so why fake the photo? She claims to have received the letters on Saturday. Take a close look at all the stamps. Most of my delivery on a Saturday is made up of DSA from TNT, UK mail etc. There are also no flats.
She says she phoned Royal Mail who told her to put them back in the post box. Have you ever phoned a delivery office after a delivery and got a reply?
She says she wrote to all the residents in Burnham explaining the problem. Received the letters on Saturday and wrote the same day? I assume she hand delivered the letters. Population 18,000.
Having said that hopefully it was not a regular postman that stuffed all these letters through her door because he clearly does have problems. But judging by the casuals in our office there could be the problem. And why are we still using casuals?
The aleged response from the DO is disgraceful however, as she should have been assured that whoever delivered them would be asked to explain themselves.
Personally, I once came home from a weekend away (a couple of years ago), and found four letters in my garden. Judging by where they had ended up, they had probably fallen out of the Posties bag as he/she (can't have been the regular bloke, as he's been doing it too long to be that careless) came up the path. It had been raining, and they were soggy. So I put them on the radiator to dry, and took them round to the right houses, knocked on, and apologised for the delay, and the state of the Post. It didn't take very long, and was appreciated.
Obviously, I don't expect members of the Public to do what I did. But what was stopping the DO arranging for someone to collect the letters, and redelivering them?
