I pay over £500 a year in Income Tax- they treat Retirement Pension as a big chunk of your tax free personal allowance so that they can take a bigger slice from your 'company pension'.

I got a bill too - VAT@17% + 'shipping admin fee' on the vitamins I get from California

- (needed due to failures in NHS)
....don't tell me to go to H & B - they dont sell them - the only source I found in UK was in Manchester and they charged 60% more!

Ha! Emamum, if you'd seen him you'd see that Neil and everyone else can't fail to notice him!

I know the postie Neil is referring to. He's a big fella, tall and well built. He has long hair and a beard. He wears shorts summer and winter.....don't know why.

I don't think it's ozzpostie on here. I'm sure he's mentioned that he's married....this fella isn't.

My postie often wears shorts too - is very thin and has short fair hair.

ozzypostie · 15-09-2008, 18:31

How daft is this? As I was going out yesterday afternoon after all that rain I found a box of energy saving light bulbs left on the doorstep. If the postman knocked I didn't hear him so why not just post a card for me to collect the parcel??

jaysay · 02-10-2008, 09:09

Tuesday this week I got my post at 2-45 pm, thats the latest I've ever recieved my mail

He probably didn't want to carry them back to the Post Office and was saving you the walk Knowing full well that they would not be stolen as everyone has a glut of them.

This happened to me and I asked the postman about it....apparently they started off knocking on doors and leaving cards if there was no answer when delivering these bulbs.

However, there were many complaints about this as people hadn't ordered them and were annoyed at having to trek to the office so they started just leaving them on doorsteps.

So it is now up to the postman to decide if you actually want to receive your mail safely or not. I wonder else they leave on the doorstep to be nicked?

I don't know about posties Neil butpeopl who deliver for mail order never knock on your door when they deliver new catalogues, they just leave them on our doorstep, which is daft to me seeing they must cost a few quid to produce

ozzypostie · 03-10-2008, 10:00

nearly everyone in the country got these free lightbulbs of which we were told by management to leave on the doorsteps. so dont blame the postie we were doing our jobs as we were directed to by the bosses.
when we left cards before we got inundated with thousands of the bloody things the amount of complaints that people had about comming down town to pick them up was one of the main reasons why this happened.
