are you on about the yellow plastic inserts that act like a bucket? :crazy:
thats the ones.i never use them myself,pretty pointless when the rain comes in through the top of the bags anyway.
Well, there must be something keeping the mail dry because in all my years I have never seen a soggy envelope coming through the letterbox: admittedly, there was a book from Amazon which the stupid pillock left on my doorstep (while I was out of the city on business) to get completely soggy, a few years ago, but other than that, never have I seen a soggy letter delivered by Royal Mail. How do you keep them dry when allegedly, pouches collect water in rainy or torrential conditions?
