Pick A Letter

‘WE are all used to receiving damaged mail, complete with explanatory note, detailing exactly how the envelope was mangled, or smeared with dog excrement.

Pat was last seen boarding a jet to Rio

But when money and valuables go missing, there is usually not a squeak from the Post Office.

How refreshing, then, to read in the Star of the couple whose opened letter contained the following note:

“Dear customer, we had to open this letter to check for money or credit cards. There were none, so you can have the fucker back!!! Next time, make sure there is some money!! Love Royal Mail.”

The elderly couple have since received a bunch of flowers from the Royal Mail – prompting complaints from neighbours that a postman was seen nicking them from their front gardens.’
