There's always the possibility that you just didn't have any letters that day.  :-?

there's always people who dont get mail one day, tuesdays are lightest!! so if you didnt get mail last thursday its simply because no one loves you ;D

the strike started thursday 12pm, so obviously posties started work at around 5 - 830 (whatever the contract start time is, mine being 7am) and we all still sorted and took our mail out, and obviously we work til we finish delivering what we have, even if beyond 12pm

i hadnt managed to get rid of all my leaflets last week cos i'd had heavy bags so i did the rest on friday morning, one of my managers drove past and saw me, so i'll get questioned when i go back in!

oh right

well basically he's gonna want to know why i was out delivering on a strike day i think, and we're not supposed to take leaflets home with us but i couldnt send them back as i doubt i could have gone to get them on the strike day to finish them off, so i left them in the car boot overnight and had a drive up to finish them off, i'll still get paid i'm sure, cos i filled in my leaflet sheet on the thursday to make sure, we're allowed to do that!

might get a tellin off for takin them home but at least i've delivered them and not binned them cos i'm sure some people bin them!!

I'm sure you are right. I have had some post go missing too - both some I was expecting (they are doing it for free this time but I had to pay for TNT), and some Ebay sales I have sold.

i've only ever had mail come late, car insurance documents, and one phone off ebay never arrived (recorded) but apart from that not too bad here, although our postman dropped a parcel in the middle of a side street belonging to my brother, its a good job the guy who found it was honest enough!

if it's addressed mail, if you dont write on "return to sender" then it'll just end up back through your door, otherwise we just write it off, s'all part of the job
