Back in the BigCiv

And back in civilisation... 1,136 spam messages filtered out - none will be read. No doubt there will be more in the emails that made it into my inbox. Hey ho, what a bunch of sad wasters that this planet holds. Hopefully their next life will have better prospects.

I should explain that compensation claims for 'lost' items, need to be
supported by a certificate of posting. Without this I cannot pay any
compensation. I realise this reply may be disappointing, but this policy is
agreed with our regulator.

apologise for any inconvenience we may have caused you.
I hope that you are satisfied with the action I have taken. If you still
have concerns, please get back in touch.

My alternative is to post flyers to the Post Office to inform them of who I am, where I live, and the "inconvenience" they have caused me so far in the last 6 months. It is a matter of personalising the issue, as the management seem to not care. But, hey, such is the poor excuse of a society we live in these days.
