Well, I'd rule out "Jim'll fix it", he's brown bread now, Gawd rest him.

Re: crooked post box
All public box defaults of this type are handled by Royal Mail's 'A-team'. You can contact them via the Los Angeles underground.minimumstandard wrote:I have a big red post box on my collection route, it leans to the left like th eleaning tower of piza, who should i report this too to get fixed as my lino says its ok.

Re: crooked post box
Romec I believe are responsible for the Upkeep. So I would expect there is an Intra link to report it.
However, there is a site where you can report problems on your street. Perhaps you could report it through that and see if you get a response. http://www.fixmystreet.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I have used it and its quite effective for street lighting and flytipping.

Saw the left heel off your shoe, the box will look fine after that.

Re: crooked post box
I ended up reporting a box to Romec to get fixed as everytime I came to empty it on collection, the door kept swinging shut and scraping my arm...
Does this rag smell of chloroform to you?

Re: crooked post box
TBF... We used to get boxes where people would go and fill them up before lunchtime, rather than just come to the DO or a PO and say "I've got a load of letters here, could I leave them with you?". Arseholes.

Well if you called them "arseholes!" when they asked a perfectly civil question, it's hardly surprising they took to dumping themTeeferTiger wrote:TBF...

in pillar boxes rather than coming into the office.

Re: crooked post box
LOL You know what I meant!! When you're out on collections with 4 empty sacks which is usually more than enough and then all of a sudden 2 of them are full to the brim cos some t*t decided to go and fill 2 pillar boxes with christmas cards, and then a business-just to top off your day- goes and puts a SD pouch in there too, it really narks you off.Straight4ward wrote:Well if you called them "arseholes!" when they asked a perfectly civil question, it's hardly surprising they took to dumping themTeeferTiger wrote:TBF...
