This is the Conversation Forum for Talking Point: When the Revolution Comes... << afraid my list is quite long! Covers >> Subject: The Post office and Parcelforce Posted Feb 26, 2003 by Clive the flying ostrich: Thingite Warlord Emeritus.   Posting 1 Since my family have in the past worked for and I currently am working in and around these domains..I wholeheartedly endorse this. S'pity. 'cos they used to be good. *still a bit miffed about the Pritt-Stick Saga. * Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: The Post office and Parcelforce Posted Feb 26, 2003 by Smij This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 2 I was amazed to discover that if you send a parcel by Parcelforce from, say, South London, intending it to be sent to an address one street away from yours, it has to go via Coventry in the Midlands. If you then ask for the parcel to be redirected to another address, your parcel will make another journey to Coventry before it gets to you. I spent over a week trying to locate a parcel that they'd tried to deliver to me while I was out at work, and waited for days for them to return my calls. This prompted me to reword a certain song from the musical version of War of the Worlds. 'The chances of Parcelforce calling me back Are a million to one, they said. The chances of Parcelforce calling me back Are a million to one They said... Doo doo doo (No they won't, no they won't) Doo doo doo (Call you back, call you back...)'

In honour of all my missing deadstock '60s shoes.

Your shoes may be at risk if you do not keep up repayments on your shoes.
