Grantham Journal letter: Try using the doorbell!

Having wasted yet another hour of my life watching the almost comical rummaging of Royal Mail staff as they try and find undelivered parcels at the shambolic Grantham sorting office, it might be worth mentioning that this once trusty service appears to be recruiting among the visually impaired or selecting staff who do not possess the intellectual capacity to recognise a doorbell.

For the second time in as many weeks I have trudged up to our Royal Snail depot to retrieve an undelivered package, despite assurances that the offending delivery person “had been spoken to” and it “won’t happen again.”

Small wonder that we are turning to private courier services rather than receiving red-bordered notes advising us that we were out.

However, we took direct action the next day and waited for the almost inaudible knock on the door - there he stood clutching a package and peering in bewilderment as we pointed out the doorbell inches from his face and pressed the button so he could hear the cheery ring tone.

Let’s see if his IQ extends to remembering the lesson.

so the Grantham journal prints a bullying tirade dressed up as a letter.

I cant be the only one rather disappointed that his bell turned out to actually work.
Have lost count of the number of times I've been yelled at for knocking (and then inevitably thumping to be sure they hear me) only for people to go rather quiet when they attempt to be quite smug and prove the bell does work - And then it doesn't, that really puts a smile on my face

We all know you can't win on this one. Your either accused of not knocking hard and long enough or your accused of trying to demolish their front door. And just don't talk to me about doorbells!!

I've heard moya will be visiting Grantham ahead of the reps meeting next week as a kind of pilgrimage in honour of the other great lady

The letter is quite offensive.
Maybe Larry Loudmouth should be invited down to conduct a WTLL on bell ringing.
