Right the paper work went off to Charing Cross shortly after lunch. Whatever happened to "Registered Letters"?

Me: "I'd like to send this Registered please."
PO: "Not any more. You need Special Delivery or Recorded now."
Me: "Huh? Er, 1st class Recorded then."
PO: "It'll be £1.04, and can you fill this slip in."

Handed over filled in slip, money and the letter. The counter assistant looked at the address and seemed to suffer a minor "Huh?" moment. But handed over my change and the stamped receipt with a breezy "Thank you miss."

So, now the next step really begins.

Alice.

Don't forget in future that if all you require is proof of posting then you can do that with a "Certificate of Posting" (which they don't advertise widely as it is *free* to do) :-)

Yabbut. It's the old scenario where organisations claim "proof of posting is not proof of delivery".

This one I felt was too important to rely on just a Certificate of Posting. As 6 weeks down the line I don't want them to be claiming "we never received your response".

But why is your letter being delivered by a Tellytubby?

Ah. No, that would be a Po, rather than a P(ost)O(rrifce). :)
