Maybe the postman delivered the packet the right way up, but have you ever seen how the packets get handled in the sorting bays?, a few years ago part of my job training was to go to a packet sorting place, it amazes me that any packets are delivered in one piece after seeing that !.

I can quite believe that Rogi..a bit like baggage at the airport..just thrown about..

It is becoming my 'trademark' on parcels now ... the lady in our Post Office laughs each time I send a package and goes to great lengths to keep them upright! .. She and I both know they are thrown into the parcel sack without a care ... lol! :o)))
