What would happen if everyone put it back in a post box with return to sender on it? <br />
<br />
Would it clog the system up so much that the Post Office services would not be able to cope and would they then start to charge the senders for their time in delivering it? Who knows but that is where my mail is going and if enough people do it it just may make them reconsider.MWShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07317568822469140074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3032281096442881344.post-87952081089865118692013-08-06T08:25:00.000+01:002013-08-06T08:25:01.671+01:00Iron Man event in BoltonI watched the local news reports on both BBC and Granada last night (Monday 5th @ 18.00/18.30hrs) and found it unbelievable that they did not mention this event on either channel.
