Royal Mail have banned Post men/women from delivering to homes due to a dog, but guess what they delivered a letter to the same homes to say they won't be delivering! Now everybody in the street will suffer as a result.

See http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2282893/Royal-Mail-bans-postmen-delivering-70-homes-family-wont-control-giant-dog.html

Our post goes astray on almost a daily basis, we often re-deliver to the neighbours. Some are the correct number, but a street away!

What's your 'posty' like?

Surely they only need to ban deliveries to 3 houses.. the one with the offending mut, and the 2 innocent neighbours. Just another case of how this country is going to the DOGS!!!! Pun full intended.

Giant dog ?

Doesn't look over big to me unless those two girls are very small.

70 homes, that's a joke.

Don't get me started on the Royal Mail around here Yell

If anyone wants to get a job with the Royal Mail, they have to pass a test, on how to put the right letter in the wrong letter box
