HWDC query

Post by POSTMAN »

Got an email,any ideas from any MC guys?
Hello, I wonder what the reason for my correspondence, which came out of Brazil, did not arrive at their destination, Ireland.
After 40 days returned to my residence with a seal HWDC, but had no explanation of why not to have left London and gone to Ireland.
What are the possible reasons for the return to sender.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Was it Eire or N Ireland - it may be that Brazil misrouted and HWDC sent it back but Brazil thought it was a refusal. Just a though off the top of me head, empty as it is. :nervous :nervous :nervous

I haven't heard that but I heard somewhere that it was built on unstable ground.... and thus was literally sinking into a huge mudpit?

So you work in a "rich" office then, eh?
