This may be happening to me, as my weekly delivery of magazines didn’t arrive last weekend. Fingers crossed it was a one-off.

Block of flats. I don’t think that any of the neighbours would be the problem, we get on well with them pretty well, except there was some trouble with the guy next door when he had building work done but:

  1. I didn’t have beef with him really and I think he knows that
  2. he seems to leave before me in the morning and get back after me too

We also have squirrels come up but I don’t think it’s them either.

I’m thinking rogue postie

Both magazines? At the same time?

We had this for awhile when Royal Mail switched a load of their posties to agency staff (maybe 2003ish?).

Was living in a big house share of six people, which obviously generated quite a lot of post, and one day our delivery stopped completely. Phoned up and they said they’d look into the problem and sent us a massive load of stamps as compensation - as per The Office, they say you can use them as currency but I almost got my face smashed in from a minicab driver trying that.

Anyway, from that point on a word obviously was indeed had as we started getting the post for every house with the same number as us for about a dozen surrounding streets. We would literally get about 60 letters per day. I used to save it all up and then go deliver it myself on a Saturday morning like a part time postie until they sorted it out. Didn’t get any more stamp compensation though sadly…

I thought this once and I rang up royal mail to complain. They sent me a load of free stamps. Looking back though, I think it might have just been that nobody had sent me anything for a while.
