I remember the Royal Mail when they had an efficient excellent service.

Letters always arrived on time, I never had to collect mail from three streets away, in fact I never had a problem.

Then one day something happened that was going to change my love affair with the Royal Mail for ever.

MY WIFE BECAME A POST LADY!!!!

You always hear people harping on about how difficult it must be being a Postie, you know the sort of thing…the early mornings, all the walking, the bad weather drone drone. Well for once I’m going to stand up for all the postie’s partners out there. This is what I have to contend with;

Getting nagged at every night to go to bed before 10 O’ Clock because she has to get up at 4 .30am

Always getting useless phone calls at work because she doesn’t know what to do with the rest of the day after getting home at 10.00am.

Me always having to take the dogs out because “I’ve done enough walking today”.

Getting woken up every morning by all the banging and walking around in the bedroom.

No more Friday nights out. I remember going out on Friday’s with my wife… not anymore, not when the Queen needs you on Saturday mornings to be the guardian of her local mail. Its just Friday nights in with a curry, bottle of wine and all that soppy
“quality time” rubbish.

Sordid Affairs? Forget it any letters with even a hint of perfume would be spotted at thirty paces. So basically with the exception of the Internet my wife has complete control over all my written correspondence.

But the worst thing of all (which is the main thrust of my complaint) is that the service I now get from the Royal Mail is a nightmare.

You see all the posties give each other their personal mail when they are at the depot so we don’t have a postman as such anymore, so now my wife brings home my mail.


AND FORGETS TO GIVE IT TO ME!!!!!

So three days or so later I might just get that letter I’ve been waiting for, oh and I now also have my own personal letter censor if there is any junk mail that my wife thinks I don’t need, she opens it for me and throws it away not thinking that I might actually WANT to read it.

I once threatened to ring up and complain about her if she didn’t give me my mail on time and it was better for a while but not for long so if it doesn’t improve I’m going to get her sacked.

When I think about it this isn’t a complaint about the Royal Mail at all, It’s a complaint about my wife but there isn’t a section in DooYoo to moan about wives

NOW THERE'S A SUGGESTION!

Despite all this I Still Love her especially in that Postie uniform so it’s not all bad I suppose.

The moral to this story is NEVER MARRY A POSTIE unless you happen to be a complaining old fart like me who enjoys a good moan.

And just in case you’re wondering yes I have written this tongue in cheek, but if DooYoo did have a partner’s complaints/relationships section I’m sure it would be the most read part of the web site and it would provide an excellent release for frustration.

I’d be interested to hear your comments.
