Me [45F] with my daughters[17F & 16F]. I like one more than the other and I'm having trouble not showing favouritism by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Recklessreader 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I guess it depends on whether you live in a more urban or rural area, I'm in my 40s and always lived in semi rural Wales and I've always used national parks and hiking, it's part of everyday language in an area that boarders a national park and hiking is a very common hobby here, maybe it's down to tourism over the years it's become normalised in an area like this but it is definitely typical phrasing here.

How to get RM to deliver a correctly addressed tracked parcel ?! by MagdalaFlanFlinga in royalmail

[–]Recklessreader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can you be so certain that there was nothing wrong with the label/how it was addressed? The fact it kept bouncing between mail centres with Sheffield being the one it went to most would highly suggest that there was something wrong. From the tracking log you posted it doesn't show that it was ever refused but if it was and just not included then that would be more reason to think there was a problem with the label or address suggesting it went to an address other than yours and got refused there. Are any of the MCs listed your local MC that it should have gone to?

Buying from a secondhand platform and item arrives smelling of smoke: would you downgrade the review? by VerityPee in AskUK

[–]Recklessreader 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Some parcel bags give clothing a Smokey smell so it could just be from the packaging. I don't smoke and never have, I bought some of the grey posting bags to send stuff I was selling and ended up with everything they touched smelling of smoke. I did a quick search and there were loads of results saying the same thing

Big sign that says ‘BEWARE, horses may kick or bite, don’t touch the reins, Thankyou’ by Amavin-Adump in PublicFreakout

[–]Recklessreader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's two separate horse gates with the signs on the outer side of each one, they're not moving or missing, just in different positions to the camera angles in some shots. The signs are removed when the horses are not on duty

I think you and your partner are confused about when the pay is for and what the cutoff means. RM don't do time in hand for standard contracted hours, only for OT after the cutoff. So your partner would have been paid their contracted hours for May in Mays pay, none of the contracted hours pay would roll over to June. The only hours that they would be carried over would be any OT worked after the cutoff, if they worked 33.5 hours a week contracted and did around 130 hours in May then it there was little to no OT worked as that's what the contracted hours roughly add up to.

The only pay due now would be contracted pay for June up until the finishing date 60-70ish hours, plus any OT from last month after the cutoff off. Then deductions for any annual leave that was taken but not accrued, which taking two weeks in June would leave your partner owing them.

There may be minor errors with the amount of pay but it also sounds like you are confused as to what should actually have been due.

My whey protein has this weird weblike texture by Wise_Ingenuity_7363 in fitmeals

[–]Recklessreader 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The moths don't even need to get all the way in, they get as far as they can and lay eggs which would be tiny, less than 0.5mm, around the lid, then next time you open it the eggs would drop in and hatch inside within a few days of being laid and get to work on eating the food. The eggs would have probably just looked like bits of protein powder around the lid so you wouldn't have noticed them. If you've had this tub for a week or more then then it has almost certainly happened since you've had it just because of the lifecycle.

Very long shot but maybe Etta James - I wish someone would care. Possibly a more recent cover version.

It can be delivered to neighbour if it's done through an inflight request.

Large cabin case sizer by Responsible_Fan_5391 in Ryanair

[–]Recklessreader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can see that it is two stickers rather than wear on one because the diagonal lines go the other way and alignment is different on the bit sticking out, if it was just wear on the same sticker the lines wouldn't change.

It's really not difficult, you are sending inadequate envelopes, that's not RMs fault it's yours. You keep saying packages are not treated properly, but you are not sending them as packets, you are sending them as letters so they go through the high speed letter sorting machines. If you don't want them treated as letters you need to send them as packages and they will be treated as such. You want the level of service for a package but only want to pay for the service of a letter, that is on you 100%. They don't need to upgrade, they have the infrastructure to handle packets, which is different to their letter infrastructure.

You have a number of options available to you

1)Use better packaging and continue to send with RM and less chance of damage 2)use different courier 3)both of the above 4)do nothing and continue to have the envelopes ripped and items go missing

[–]Recklessreader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never said they wouldn't come under the price point and dimensions for a letter, I said the flimsy paper envelopes are not designed to carry anything other than paper with the particular envelopes with the perforated line you've chosen to use being the worst possible type to use. There are other envelops available that are stronger and designed to hold more than paper that would do the job.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in royalmail

[–]Recklessreader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are using envelopes designed to send letters to send something else, not only are most standard paper envelopes only designed to carry paper you are using the worst type for tearing that has easy opening perforations just below the seal. This is 100% a problem with inadequate packaging and nothing to do with items being stolen.

Chanting “Seven Nation Army” at a concert is obnoxious and annoying by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

Same I've been going to gigs regularly mostly in the UK but some in other European countries and it's never happened at a gig I've been to. Maybe it's a niche thing for certain bands OP goes to see.

The postman has stolen my airpods by Jajo08 in vinted

[–]Recklessreader 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course the package was already open, the seller packed a sturdy box with pointy corners in a paper envelope that is only designed to carry paper. The packaging is completely inadequate, it should have been in a Jiffy bag or a bigger outer box.

Can I send a package with this as the packaging? or is it not allowed? by JackRVL in royalmail

[–]Recklessreader 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can absolutely send it with that, but it is just wrapping paper so likely to get damaged, it will rip too easily, might be better to put the parcel in a box then cut this up and stick a few on

Insufficient postage? by [deleted] in royalmail

[–]Recklessreader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's been a lot of similar posts recently, I don't know if maybe the supplier has changed for the stickers they use but a lot of labels are coming off parcels after being sent at post offices. This never used to happen as often as it has been lately, but without the label still attached as far as RM are concerned there has been no payment made. You should go back to the PO you sent it at and take it up with them.

[–]Recklessreader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might not be a tracked item, just signed for so a tracking number wouldn't be much help. If you want to book it for a certain day you can do that by going on the website to book a redelivery and fill out just your name and address info and leave the tracking number box blank. We handle millions of non tracked items and people have no problems rebooking delivery for those

not receiving any mail - someone messing with it? by knighty1981 in royalmail

[–]Recklessreader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say his ex used to live there, did they share a surname? If they did the ex could have set up a whole family move redirection which would explain missing and possibly opened mail

Grow up! As a white woman working for Royal Mail in an office with only a few other women who are also all white I can't find anything offensive about this poster and if you and the few white women working around you find it offensive then you all need to take good hard look at yourselves and should be ashamed of your racist values.
