Phantom delivery
Sep. 8th, 2015 09:55 pmYesterday lunchtime, I went to my front door and found my post had arrived. And under the two envelopes was one of those cards the postman puts through your door when there's a package they can't deliver any you aren't in to take it.
Now, I had actually been in all morning but I've heard stories of lazy postmen not wanting to carry a heavy package around so they put a card through the door and say you didn't answer the bell.
But a twist was that this card was completely blank. No details of what was to be delivered, nothing.
Well, it's wasn't out of my way to come home via the sorting office this afternoon so I asked there if there was something waiting for me.
It seems that postmen use those cards as dividers to separate batches of mail. Sometimes there forget to remove the card before delivering the letters.
