For the past 4 years, ever since we moved in here I have been having problems with post going astray. The problem is that I live on the border of 2 coucils, my council decided to name our street a very similar sounding name than a street with the same postcode pre-fix but in the next council area, less that a mile away.
On odd occasions we get their post and they get mine.
In addition to this the house on the corner which is part of the main road that our street goes off has the same house number as mine. He often gets our post and sometimes it has been quite important stuff, applications forms from parents of children who want to come to dh's classes. Luckily the local vicar lives there and always redelivers.
Today there was a knock on the doo and the woman from similar street name handed me two envelopes saying I think these look like they might be passports. Sure enough they were. Addressed correctly with full postcode but deliverd to Beach Way instead of Beech Crescent (example names)
Sureley the postmen/sorting office should know the difference by now. I rang and complained and was given a reference number for my complaint.
