    Royal Mail

    Well only his fault if you can prove he didnt try and deliver it. As you have stated, you seen him scurry away and he left a card indicated he did try and deliver it. Just because you never heard him (may be he chapped the door and never seen the bell). Gary.

    can you put an oven above a fridge.
