This week I've had several items in the post that fit both of your requirements.
Replacement credit card.
Signed contracts.
Some enlargements of photos.
Security forms that required signatures on originals.
A DVD with loads of info from a client.
Admittedly I'm a long way from London
I'm about as far away from London as it is possible to get while remaining on the planet, but still the postal service managed to deliver a letter to me from HMRC reminding me that I have to stump up a hefty tax payment on account by the end of July.
Be prepared to go into smug git mode after that; I did.
My last contact with the T-men was back in early 2002 when they wrote to me to say I had nothing to pay dating way back to 1996. Since then: NOTHING
In fact, that thought has brightened my morning, I'll have another banana
How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
Postal workers would never go on strike round my way, they would just be depriving themselves of theiving opportunities. Police were called when my neighbours kids birthday mail was found opened in a bin. My 4 tickets to the football went missing in and when I complained the guy said "to be honest mate, someone will have taken them".
