That reminds me - we got the notice through the post on Friday. Better sort it out.

Don't think you'll see the sticker 'til late Sep. IIRC.

Quick Q if anyone knows but it asked for my title/name. Do I have to register everyone in the house, or is my name suffice to represent the household?

I'm not sure, but I now have images of HIMOs with the entire front door covered in PO stickers :lol: :lol:

Just used my details, it's only for the sticker far as I can see.

I wish they'd left the gf's parcel with the neighbour.

Just got back off hols to find a card saying 'packet in recyclye bin', where it's never been left before, and the fecking thing has obviously been recycled.

Was that Royal Mail or someone else?

Royal Mail. They didn't mark on the card the date let alone anything else. :?

Got my sticker. About 2cm x8cm, says "please return any items you can't deliver to the delivery office"

Classy.

Cheers for that, I'd been wondering. I hate that we can't take in anything for the neighbours even though I don't want to burden them with my stuff.

I wouldn't trust any of my neighbours in the other 5 flats in this building as far as I could throw them.
But the downside is I now have to display a sticker announcing the fact that I don't trust them! That's just bleedin great.

FFS, why can't they just leave things the way they are?!!

I suspect they want to save money by reducing number of staff working in depots. If you need only 2 people instead of 10, that's money saved.

Yes, these things are almost always money orientated.

I think, mayhap, you overguess just how much heed your neighbours give to your letter box. ;)

Got my sticker yesterday and the neighbours don't give a monkey's
