I once had a letter addressed to me - from Parcel Farce - saying that they had a parcel for me but the driver could not find the address and could I contact them with directions. The letter specifically said it was using the same address as on the parcel and they were in the correct area but coulld not find it. So how does the postman deliver then??? - if they thought the address was incorrect - why would they expext a letter to get to me???Address was correct of course. NB. There is a Post Office 200 yards from my house! Why not ask there! More recently, a parcel to my office did not arrive - so I rang only to be told that the address could not be found. The label had the last 3 letters of the road name missing. But it had the postcode - "our drivers do not work with postcodes" Tossers. Parcel Farce it the correct name for them.

Or Purolator who seem to employ blind drivers who much like parcelpost cannot find the blindingly obvious...."The Space needle - Used to be the biggest building in world... right in the centre of toronto?....visible for miles?....its white?.....oh ffs, ill give it to a passing tourist.
