      If you have a bin outside, check its not in there. I've had to complain once or twice because I've found deliveries 'hidden' in the bin.

      I must admit I've never had any real problems with either Amazon or E-Bay deliveries. If anything E-Bay have arrived within 2 days if not the next day.:snork:

        We're used to things being sent through the air round here. The local courier couldn't deliver a parcel to my neighbour opposite because they weren't in so he decided to send it sailing through the air over my side gate. He couldn't do that to the house opposite as they've got a side extension. I wouldn't mind but he didn't even knock at my door to ask if I'd take their parcel. He just launched it. :biggrin:

                  Just in keeping with the Red Pillar boxes, Val:snork: Having said that, we had a new Postman for the last few days and he's been posting the letters through the Letter Box. Since I put the Mail Box in a very prominent position to save the Postmen's fingers getting caught in the metal trap of a letter box I was wondering why he wasn't using it. I stopped him this morning as he was stuffing the mail through the letter box and asked him why he wasn't using the Red Mail Box.
                  He looked at me astonished and looking at the Mail Box only inches away from him shook his head and confessed he hadn't "seen" it!! And I was wondering why I had been getting a lot of wrong mail in the last few days!:dunno::doh::scratch::wallbanging::snork:

                    There's probably nothing wrong with bright red shorts, if that's what they want to wear. Each to their own and all that. There's a man that I sometimes see going about in Whitby that wears a pink feather boa.

                      No, no Clue, they dont wear bright red shorts, I think they are greyish.
                      But anyway, is the pink feather boa, (guessing its some kind of snake), around his neck?
