Why is Santa not freepost!?

Post by POSTMAN »

:sad:
http://www.royalmail.com/letters-to-santa" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

http://www.royalmail.com/sites/default/files/santas_checklist.jpgSanta is extremely busy at the North Pole, making sure all the presents, including yours, are ready and wrapped for Christmas Eve.

It’s a very exciting time for all; Rudolph and Santa can’t wait to land at your home with all your gifts. Rudolph is especially looking forward to eating the carrots you kindly leave and maybe a mince pie for Santa…

To ensure Santa receives your letter on time please can you send to the following address:
Santa/Father Christmas,
Santa’s Grotto,
Reindeerland,
XM4 5HQ

Santa will respond to as many letters as possible, in between getting the sleigh ready for the long journey on Christmas Eve.

To receive your card back from Santa, please make sure you write to him using the correct address on a stamped envelope. Don't forget Santa needs to know your full name and address to reply.

Santa is happy to receive your cards and letters now but because of a very busy Xmas ahead could you please write to him by no later than Saturday 6th December.
Be good and enjoy your holidays,
Santa (Tight arse)

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.

Dear Santa, could I please have 2 new knees, deep heat rub for my back and a pair of boots that will last more than a few weeks, also would it be possible to borrow a few reindeers due to our office running out of donkeys ,but what would be really nice would be a letter box at the end of every garden and an electric scooter to drive round my delivery, :hmmmm

Your wish is about to be granted, the grumpy part will be the same but from 1 Dec all fatties will be weighed on Monday and if they haven't lost any weight by Friday it's the P45 :cuppa

Did you not receive the memo? Good old St Nick has been privatised and is now the property of GlobalHyperMegaCorp and holdings.
The elves are non-unionised zero hour contract labour and the reindeer have been sold to MacDonalds to star in their next seasonal themed burger meal.
Replacing Rudoph and co will be self-employed owner driver deliveries who will not only deliver your presents down the chimney but into bins, under parked cars and caravans, any unlocked non-weather resistant outbuildings and Neighbours you hate.
All while wearing a Santa hat and a grimace.

Merry bloody Xmas™, ®

Plenty of asses in charge, won't they do as cover for the lack of donkeys? :crazy:

At last they've dropped the postcode SAN TA1 which for years sent bundles of Santa's letters to Taunton nightly :crazy:

Kids have pocket money why should they? They seem to have more disposable income than any of us! :dance

i am sure it actually means the letters the kids send to santa are freepost, but if they want to ensure they get a reply they need a Stamped, addressed envelope.
