Our PO has been properly transformed in line with government requirements. Rather use DHL.

Funny that one......had a tyre repaired the other day and as I drove out from the repair shop I saw what looked like a parcel lying in the road, and it just so happened that there was a TOLL delivery truck in front of me with it's roller door half open. Realising that the parcel had fallen from the truck I tried all sorts of things to capture the driver's attention but to no avail, he then drove down a driveway into a business complex only to lose his trolly. By the time I caught up with the fella he had lost all of his parcels......just wondering if one of them was yours?

No doubt Wardad was attempting to mail the Rugby laws to the SA players & one particular poster on this site) , they seem to be confused about refs, scoreboards, backs, etc.

It was actually Dan Carters biography .I guess the poor wee SA postal workers are hungry for decent rugby in any form eh ?And some art [ indigenous ] so I guess some hunger for a bit of culture too .Denny those TOLL bas.tards are too lazy to make the drive to my door ,we are perched on a hill with a super long steep driveway .Your yarn reminds me of following a beer truck in Sth Oz which was losing its load all over the road .After checking it out it was sadly just light beer so I chased and eventually stopped him.

Strange rugby book that Wardad. I started it with the view that he would opine on a lot of rugby topics. Instead it was incredibly introspective, interesting in a different way, but not what I expected.

Indeed Moz I expected something like Maccaws book .Still an interesting read .

Was Beandork in charge of the letter opening and vacuuming department then ? I always thought SA was more of an exporter RE: Dope .Just look at the likes of beandork transplanted about the world .

Actually my brother recently got a package from RSA, packed by the gold standard shippers....nothing inside.

I would well believe it Moz,maybe its some fresh air from home ? .Good one Naru ! I reckon beandip is voicing his disappointment at the last package he received being stepped on .

Postnet in SA is a mess - a huge one. The workers are striking - some has not been paid for months. The company is run by the politici and they cream the money. It can take three weeks by Postnet for a letter from Bloemfontein to be delivered to my home address.
Just another example o f thieving by the Government in SA,
