Bloody postman!
Tell me about it! The illiterate idiot in my area tried to deliver my chinstrap for my M1(thanks Joss!) to a neighbour even though it had my name on it and my flat number. Perhaps if she wasn't so busy chatting on a mobile the whole time she could've spotted it.
Guess I'll round up the open complaints with Royal fail to an even half dozen. 
12 British made bakelite Polish buttons from our postman, who is really good.

It's weird, I never had any trouble when I was living outside Glasgow. Including a farm up a 1 mile driveway miles from anywhere. Only in The G postcode area.
Our postman is good too, he brought the magazines I ordered the other day from Warren at S&S and 2x 200ml tins of black dubbin. Black is gone from my local shops, they only sell neutral these days. Time to dubbin my German boots for Freshman.

better by design
"Truth is a shining goddess, always veiled, always distant, never wholly approachable, but worthy of all the devotion of which the human spirit is capable. "
Yo're lucky they've even got neutral. My local shop tried to tell me that black kiwi parade gloss was the same thing as dubbin! 
Very VERY nice!
Show me a man who will jump out of an airplane, and I'll show you a man who will fight!
