RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted March 20 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 20 This was posted on another forum, no further comment is necessary. My middle daughter is a Cordwainer, one of a team of three, making bespoke, handmade to measure shoes and boots. At the beginning of the year a pair of £800 boots were dispatched via Royal Mail to a client in France; clearly addressed with both buyer and sellers details. Delivery was attempted and a note left for the absent buyer. When the buyer attempted to collect the package they were told that it had been returned to the manufacturer. When Royal Mail we’re contacted they said that they were attempting to re deliver. Nothing arrived with either buyer or seller. Several emails were sent in an effort to discover the whereabouts of the elusive parcel. Last week an email reply from Royal Mail said that as the parcel had gone unclaimed for three weeks it had been destroyed! As a gesture of “goodwill” they offered a cheque for £13:49. Yesterday middle daughter was a little surprised to discover a bespoke pair of handmade boots, in branded box and packaging, offered for sale on e*ay! When she contacted the seller she received a rather patronising reply, declining to say where they had obtained the boots, and suggesting that the company should take as much care with delivery as they took in making the boots in the first place. A Google search reveals that Royal Mail sold on 75,000+ undelivered/undeliverable parcels last year. Many have appeared for sale online, in many cases still unopened, and in some cases people have spotted their undelivered parcels still bearing their name and address label, clearly displayed in the online listing. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I can smell BS as most of that doesn't even make sense. If the item was correctly stamped then that £800 would be £800 not £13:49 (why is that written like a digital clock time?). Ever wondered why they ask you what's in the parcel and it's value at the Post Office..... Never mind using an archaic term such as cordwainer the whole story is cobblers! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, so long as they buy a ticket and don't carp on the seats, which is better behaviour than some of the human passengers... 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid they do neither of those things, in fact they're just as bad as their humanoid counterparts... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted March 20 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 20 ‘Effectively cuts short all attacks of SPASMS, HYSTERIA, and PALPITATION’. It’s chlorine, so it will cause such attacks, briefly, before cutting them short. Permanently. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Chloroform! Quote As its principal ingredients were a mixture of laudanum (an alcoholic solution of opium), tincture of cannabis, and chloroform, it readily lived up to its claims of relieving pain, as a sedative, and for the treatment of diarrhea. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorodyne And is apparently still available although with changes to the recipe. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-52817880 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
