Valentine's Day

Post by Oliviah »

Hi, I'm a documentary film student at Goldsmiths making a short (3min) film about postal workers on Valentine's Day. I'd love to talk to as many people as possible about their experiences of delivering/sorting letters on Valentine's Day, please get in touch if you'd be willing to have a quick phone chat with me! Obviously with February about to start it's a bit of a quick turnaround film, so the faster you get in touch the better.
Many thanks and I really look forward to hearing from you, Olivia (ohumphreys@gmail.com)

The only time I notice Valentines cards is when they are surcharged, not only do people want to remain anonymous they don't want to pay the postage either :left:
BTW No one ever sends me a Valentine Card, not even one without a stamp :cuppa :wink:
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Thanks Pinky :angel
Olivia all I can say is in my office we get 100's of cards through each Valentines day without the correct postage, nice little earner for :cfo £1 admin fee on each one.

This year any Valentine gifts that arrive when the receivers out and they want to collect at a Post Office will have to pay £1.50 (3 times the price before 01 Feb 2010) and have Royal Mail announced it - no they sneak it into the T&C of the Local Collect FAQs http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/cont ... 3#48200281" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; :cry :no no :no no
