I hate it when that happens. I'm sure the delivery vans hide round the corner waiting for us to nip out for a few minutes.....
Best regards, John

Surely most delivery drivers just lob parcels over the fence - well we have seen F.D.X lob them and I`m still waiting on a delivey of a camera being delivered by Y.D.L

My neighbours found an expensive canteen of cutlery in the undergrowth in their garden, it had been there sometime since the packaging had disintegrated. They cleaned it up and had a dinner party where another neighbour remarked that she had once bought the same cutlery but never received the parcel.

Had one package left in the bin, at least the delivery person had left it in the "clean" recycle bin and put a note through the door as to the parcel location. Usually stay at home when expecting a delivery, one of the advantages of being retired

DPD are the scourge of my life. Every time someone uses them I get two or three texts and emails!

It might not sound bad but it massively interrupts my work. One day before Christmas I had six parcels arriving. When my work is interrupted 30+ times in a day it's a pain.

I've asked them to stop (as it is illegal) but they seem to have a very distorted view of the law.

No He had already been to the waterfall, it was about half way. I was a bit out of breath so didn't chat long

There are different levels of secret handshake, the 645z one is particularly difficult to learn

Yes, balancing on one leg on the sloping edge of a gorge was the hard part.

I think it's fairly safe to assume I'll not be needing to learn that any time soon.
