Having your mail/post redirected

[voron]

I could look out of the window in a morning and if I saw more than the usual of my neighbours wandering about I knew the latest postie had screwed up and delivered mail to the wrong street.

Are you sure you weren't simply missing out on the morning neighbourhood wife-swap?

I always use this when moving house, and based on no. of items forwarded by Royal Mail versus no. of items forwarded by the next occupant, I'd say Royal Mail has about an 80% success rate.

I recently had a letter from an insurance company for the previous occupier.

Who moved 6 years ago.

And was buried some 2.5 years ago...

Letter is now in the jampot of wilted daffs on the grave.
