Royal Mail

I just had to share this with someone as I'm pretty irritable about it, so you lot drew the short straw. :lol:

My postman just came to the front door at 10:30 and put the post through the door and wandered off, sounds great so far right?

I look through the post to find one of their red slips saying "sorry you weren't in to collect your parcel". Plus the red slip was marked up as saying it arrived at 11:30 (he filled it out before he even left the office this morning).

So I chase the postie down the road (not very fast mind you...it was more of a hobble) only to find that he didn't even bring the bloody thing with him! The cheek of it!

So I now need to get someone to go to the depot and collect it for me as I can't drive at the minute.

Not a happy bunny. :evil:

Courier company did the same to me last week. Checked the tracking status on the website and it said they had attempted delivery at 17:15. Thing is my wife was in the front yard for an hour before and after that. Turns out the guy had been running late and just put delivery attempted for his last 10 packages ..... :roll: :evil:

Running late? Probably caught a nap in his vehicle after lunch ;)

Here is another one for you;

The 2 puzzle problem
Two forum members living in the UK order a puzzle from the USA and the parcels are posted one day apart. The first parcel arrives in less than a week, the second parcel has yet to arrive (posted on 30.3.2011). So if the parcels left via the same office and were carried via the same carrier services and the parcel were the same relative size how is it that this situation is occurring.

Discuss
(this part of the examination is worth 100% and should be completed in 30 minutes)
Any answers leading to the resolution of this problem will be greatly appriciated.
