Royal Mail, you need to actually ring the bell or knock the door before deciding there’s no-one in.
I’m sitting 5 foot away from the front door reading comic books. Please don’t lie about this.
The lack of a card through the door also tells me a lot.
Worst service ever.

Just got asked to weigh in on a football match on TV. To my uncultured eyes, it looks like some of the newer players can alter the laws of physics, by falling forward when they’re pulled backwards.
Amazing.
