I live in a maisonette,(basically a 2 floored house on top of a flat may as well explian what one is as so many ask me) On the ground we have an intercom thing to gain access at one end of the block and at the other a fire escape with a door usually left open during the day though when shut it's only openable from the residents side. On the intercom panel is a button labeled "trades" along with 6 others one each for the maisonettes.
Letterboxes are the other side of the main enterance door each of us having our own box and key.
No idea how but for a month now my keys would not open my mail box. After a day or two I phoned the council and asked them to get it fixed. I asked that someone phone me to arrange a time to call obviously.
Two weeks later I chased them up..
We have passed it on to a contractor it'll be a couple of weeks before you get a call"
I wont type my reply it might upset some of you "sensite" types (aka daft buggers) suffice to say they promised they would contact the contractors and get it prioritised.
Two weeks later having told about 12 postmen (permament temps route) to call at my door, a note being stuck on the letterbox, and an ongoing strike I'm daily poking around with a knife and other things extracting my mail.
Today I managed to retrieve an undated unpostmark dated letter from the council...
Repair request cancelled.
Where.. my address
When... to phone to arrange access
Why.... Failure to reply to calling card left.
Left in the mail box no doubt. Bloody morons.
