A lorry taking mail to a Swansea depot became stuck in a narrow road after taking a wrong turn.

Recovery teams spent much of Sunday trying to free the vehicle after it got into difficulties in Frederick Place, Llansamlet, at about 13:00 GMT.

The lorry was eventually released about five hours later.

Royal Mail said while the driver was not injured, he was very embarrassed, and the post would be sorted when back at the depot.

The mail was destined for addresses across the SA postcode area. Although it was delayed, Royal Mail said it would be delivered as quickly as possible.

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.
