Took in a parcel for next door. Fairly common since they are both out at
work so I didn't even look at it. UK Mail.

But it wasn't for them.

House number and street were for next door, but not the name or postcode.
Postcode was for the other end of the street. And a Flat 3.

Now there are very few houses in this street big enough for three flats,
so decided to have a look at the other end of the street. Three houses are
indeed in three flats - but all A,B & C. And none with a number that could
have been a typo.

The card UK Mail left next door had no contact details for them.

Parcel is quite large and heavy. And I've signed for it. ;-)

Is there a sender's postcode etc you could google and find out if it's from Axminster or Love Honey before you meet the neighbours?

That reminded me of the "Carp to carp walleting" punchline (possibly one
of Bob Monkhouse's jokes from several decades back).

It might be worth asking Flat B and Flat C in case the "Flat 3" is a
typo or misheard on the phone. As for the number - I have had
christmas cards delivered to me at No.4 because someone had written 21
in a curly intersecting script, or from 41 because the 1 looked like a
comma.

It could mean that, like many of us, he just doesn't think about it- at
least
not regularly.

If people want to get married, it isn't my business. I wish them well. The
fact
they are homosexual (I don't care for the term gay but not because I want
to
cause offence) isn't my business.




Actually its because I don't think about it, but other people do, that
its there as a sig to ridicule the importance given to it.

Anyway its only one of about 30 random sigs that get changed on a
regular basis.

Right. It's of no importance to you, but you wish to ridicule those to

I like what Kingsley Amis had to say - that all children are
permanently drunk (accounts for their behaviour) and all women
half-drunk.

Actually women are for most of their lives, high on drugs. Female
hormones, as are men, on testosterone.

The 'triumph' of feminism is to affirm that men are, but deny that women
are.

It also explains his interests in same sex marriage. Disliking women.

Slowley and in a large pan.

Not that I'm an expert on cooking but I do watch masterchef.

I think I'd give it back to the carrier. they must have some records of it,
and even if not can probably legally open it for clues.


Does seem a bit strange that they delivered it when the details aare
obviously incorrect. sounds like a driver who just wanted to get rid of it.

I would, but there's no contact details on either the printed label on the

Of course. They're generally self employed with this sort of organisation,
and time is money.

Perhaps the delivery Co. will have recorded where they left it?
In which case the purchaser has an opportunity of retrieval through a
complaint to the sender.

After a working week or so, I think you could reasonably open the
package to look for an invoice or packing slip.

It's legal to open someone's mail as long as you have reasonable
excuse (which this is I would say) and don't intend to cause them
detriment..

If I wasn't intending to keep it in case it was never collected
and I wanted to keep whatever might be inside ;-) I would open it
to find some details of the sender and contact them about
it.

IME, all they normally record is the date, time, mane of signatory and a
copy of the signature.

SFAIK, if it came by courier, it does not count as mail and can be
opened at will.

I'd think so since they have one of those hand terminals.

I've been to the UK Mail site and left a message explaining things. But
not even had an automated reply acknowledging receipt of that. They did
have a phone number to contact, but couldn't be arsed with that.

After a working week or so, I think you could reasonably open the
