Royal Mail Booze Ban
Residents of a sleepy little Yorkshire hamlet have just received the disappointing news that they face a 45-minute journey to collect their post each day.
Royal Mail has decided that the narrow winding road to Booze is just too dangerous for its delivery vehicles to use - not that there's ever been an accident.
Shank's pony isn't an option because the local postman has a bad back, making him unable to carry the daily deliveries up the steep hill.
Local Royal Mail manager Colin Appleby told residents in a letter: "The road is extremely narrow, and if you have to reverse down, this is potentially an accident waiting to happen."
Residents of Booze's eleven homes were given just 24-hours notice that their mail service was being suspended. They now face the time consuming journey to Richmond sorting office until a delivery box is installed at the foot of the hill.
A pretty pathetic decision on the part of Royal Mail and shoddy in the extreme that they should spring this move at only one day's notice. With such dubious customer service it's no wonder they're business is losing money hand over fist.
Edit: Apologies about the inaccuracy of the image above. Royal Mail no longer empty any of their post boxes on a Sunday so please disregard the collection times shown.
