I know some people on here work for the Royal Mail, so sorry, but they are truely shit.
Example:
Walsall have been foiled in their bid to appeal against Anthony Gerrard's red card in their 5-0 win over Peterborough - but the club blames the Royal Mail.
"We sent the video and paperwork by special delivery," chief executive Roy Whalley told the Saddlers' website.
"Royal Mail special delivery guarantees it will be delivered by noon the next day, but the parcel was not received by the FA until 1510 BST on Thursday.
"FA rules state the relevant evidence has to be received by 1300."
Gerrard must now serve a three-match suspension, starting against Macclesfield on Saturday.
Whalley added: "We will be seeking compensation from the Royal Mail.
They also lost one of my eBay parcels :evil:

Walsall clearly should have put the video onto a PC and emailed it, it would have got there pdq then!
My old worked emailed me yesterday. A post card I sent from Ko Chang 5 years ago arrived. No stamp, no post mark, but 5 years!

Quite right Jim, it was pure filth - so at the end of the day no damage was done at all.

The funniest thing about this is the appeal itself, it was a kung fu kick on Big Trev ffs.

I love the way that while your mail is in the post it is technically property of the queen, as it is Royal Mail, I think we should post some heroin to each other then do her for drug smuggling!  |

They give me 300 quid a week for doing pretty much fuck all, so the Royal Mail is just great.
