Booze Delivery

August 1st, 2008 |

We’re all used to the familiar rattle of our letterbox, at some point in the day, as our local postman drops whatever missives, bills or junk mail through our door.

The Royal Mail, however, is cutting back on office branches throughout the country; many of them in rural areas much to the chagrin of many a villager wanting stamps or their pension.

It therefore comes as no surprise that the eleven residents of a hamlet in the Yorkshire Dales, going by the name of Booze, have been told that they will not be getting any of their mail delivered and they will have to collect it from their nearest sorting office which is a 45 minute drive away - Story in the Northern Echo.

The reason for this? “Health and Safety”. Or put another way… the postie has a bad back!
