I hate the postal service here in Hungary it totally sucks. Half the time they nick your mail, they hang on to it for bizarre reasons and charge you to get it even though its an EU country so there are no import taxes on things received from the UK. Basically they are crap, thieving gits.
I've sent a few things to the UK that have gone missing or taken forever to get there. I sent a small parcel to Valentine and it took ages to get there but this latest one just takes the mick. Agessssssssss ago i sent out a babywearing DVD to Zebrastripes, it took bloody ages to copy to another disc but i had to do it frame by frame and then merge it back together. I thought it was weird that i hadn't heard if she got it or not but didn't think too much about it because mummys = busy. Now i get a letter from the Hungarian postal service to say that they have impounded the package because the disc may contain sensitive materials! They make this crap up as they go along. WTF? Put it a bloody player and look it if your that worried. Not only that but if i want it back i have to go and PAY THEM FOR IT! The price they want would work out as more expensive than actually just buying it new! They only do these things to expats, i can guarantee that if the return address label had had a Hungarian name on it instead of mine it would have just been posted.
Zebrastripes you will get your dvd, i just have to do it again because i ain't paying them for it and i'll see if Richard's work will post it for me.
Plus i had to go to the shop at 7am this morning, fax the letter to my friend so she could call me and read it in case it was something important because i was worried as it was a government to be signed for letter!
Ok i'll stop ranting now! At least the weather is nice lol.
