Smalltown and Dullbridge Missing Person, Tim Teepee, has urged local Posties to “pull your socks up” after it was revealed that some residents have experienced delays with local post deliveries.
SomersetClive spoke to our PostPerson last week to query why our Agony Aunt, Horace Monsoon, hasn’t received his usual sackful of readers problems for over two weeks and the PostPerson confirmed that the Royal Snail Sorting Office is experiencing problems of its own.
“Really sorry about this, mate“, our PostPerson said “We’ve been having a few problems of our own, but I don’t think even Agony Aunt Horace Monsoon can help us.
We are currently short of staff and are having to work two areas at a time, it’s impossible to deliver all the post for two areas in the same time as one area and to make matters worse management have tried to make our working day ‘more exciting’ by introducing a ‘Magical Mystery’ aspect to our job.
This means that we never know where our route will take us on any given day and, just when we’ve worked out which streets we are supposed to be delivering to, the next day we find ourselves somewhere else. We just don’t know if we are coming or going.”
However, Missing Person Tim Teepee has also questioned his lack of post in recent weeks. Mr Teepee said “I’ve paid extra to have my post redirected to my Mother’s house in Snailsea, but I have yet to receive any letters from my constituents, not even any complaining about the lack of post.
It really isn’t good enough. Royal Snail has told me that I am welcome to pop along to the Smalltown sorting office and collect my mail in person, but as this would require me to appear in public I’ve had to decline the offer.
I have written to the Director of Public Policy and Affairs at Royal Snail, telling him that I think the PostPeople should pull their socks up, apply some elbow grease and get stuck into the job in hand.
Unfortunately my letter hasn’t been delivered yet, but when it is I expect to see a vast improvement with the service.”
