Dozy postie!

My daughter sent me this lovely afternoon tea package for my birthday yesterday. We spoke on the phone about 10pm and she said 'have u had yr pressie' i said no and she told me she'd had notification it had been delivered early evening. I went back outside to look....no sign. No card through to door to say it had been left with a neighbour or to arrange redelivery.
Then....i looked in my paper recycling bin....and there it was.
I mean.... why would the postie put a package clearly marked fresh food into any sort of bin???? Beggars belief!! If she hadnt have called, it may have been there days and out of date and only fit for the bin!!!
Thankfully it was well packed and had only been in there about 3 hours.
Postman Prat!!!!

Our previous house had it's own postcode, yet we rarely got post. Royal Mail had a huge turnover of staff, many being foreigners who never became regular on a delivery route. For years we complained, but nothing was done. As a result my partner missed hospital appointments and we had to make sure any delivery was not with Royal Mail.

What a thoughtful lovely gift. Hope you had a lovely birthday.
