Tremors felt in England

At 1am this morning, I felt the house shake, like large truck was going past, or someone was running on loose floorboards. It really shook me up (no pun intended).

According to BBC News the tremor measure 4.7 on the Richter scale.

Is it coincidence that several tremors have also been felt this week in Indonesia?

time for a stiff drink!

Don’t Trust Royal Mail

Sure, everyone has a story to tell about how useless Royal Mail are - letters arriving late, not at all, parcels not being delivered, even though you were in, but the other day, they proved to me, that not only are they incompetent, but also untrustworthy. Incompetence is leaving a parcel on our front doorstep in the rain, like they did to us last week. Being untrustworthy, however, takes a bit more effort, or in this case less effort.

On Tuesday night, GastrGrrl and I came home in the evening and collected our post in the hallway. There was a letter, addressed to someone else, living at the same house number, but on the next street. That’s incompetent.

But, this letter had a label on it reading Recorded and Signed For!

The sender had paid good money, and entrusted Royal Mail to ensure that, what is presumably an important document, is safely sent.

Well, no-one had signed for this Recorded delivery, and it was delivered to the wrong address. Incompetent and untrustworthy. Be warned. Beware.
