Most inaccessible delivery?

[funkflex55]

Every now and then a utility bill comes through for one of those green phone cabinets

I hope you post them through the doors in the middle. Don't want the bill going unpaid.

Not exactly inaccessible but i once had a letter for a radio mast.
The track was up a hill past a farm building which we did actually deliver to.
If i recall the ground was dry so no chance of getting stuck and must have been quiet as i went up to the top of the moor.
Track was not actually that bad, and though there was no DP as such there was a door i could open which revealed a panel inside a box so i left it in there.
Sometimes pass the place on my travels and wonder if its still there.

Ace, bet it's still there

On the rural I did, a water supply bill to a field. Do I just chuck it in the field

Canal boats are another, using what 3 words and a telephone number. Like I have the time to ring them

Got one place that’s about a half mile track down extremely bumpy (pot holes doesn’t cover it) then have to turn around in a stream.


Got few places no letterboxes they just expect you to open the door and out the post inside which is fine, but when people have transferred down they have found this very strange.

I used to have a few like that, always found it odd opening someone’s front door, yet you could go a few doors down to a ‘normal address’ and see a door slightly open, push a parcel through the gap and be told off for not knocking or opening their door.

The ones that used to drive me mad were the local farm agreements that duty holders had ‘put their mail in the bigger barn unless it’s threshing day, if you see a red tractor in the 3rd field put it in the smaller barn unless it’s Monday or a Thursday however if there’s 8 chickens in the yard instead of 10 it needs to go on top of the milk pail but only in the months of April to September however check the weather first on the BBC if it’s into double digits you can leave inside the fuel cap of the old Land Rover. Oh and don’t get it wrong, Old man Johnson tips me 6 eggs at Christmas.’

Most inaccessible delivery points were those cut off by water which frequently happened, or gated entries where the buzzer rarely worked.

We get letters for council property such as public toilets, random play field, car parks.

Aye got a free punnet of strawberries yesterday, can’t complain. Love the rural atmosphere compared to town. Down here the town is rammed with traffic in the summer I can’t handle that.

People who live in multi occupancy flats that don’t have a door bell/door bell that doesn’t work/ bell that doesn’t have a flat number, oh and no flat number on the item you’re trying to deliver

Return to sender. Easy

You still have to attempt delivery first

If there's no number of it I don't take it out of office just sticker it and return it.

As an aside, I recently had a returned parcel, no name, just Flat 3 and the postcode. The postcode covered approximately 50 properties, all of which were flats. Manager couldn’t understand why I couldn’t deliver it and no one knew what to do with it.

Kill it off with an incomplete address? NI will take care of it.
