Sometimes I just shoot from the hip, with little self-editing; and this is one of those, principally because all Shan' friends were so aggrieved for her.poetjanstiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366592443925617507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977373995716589134.post-6320014129499771552011-12-10T05:22:49.827+00:002011-12-10T05:22:49.827+00:00I was going to say this was a thoughtless act, but...I was going to say this was a thoughtless act, but the fact is the thief obviously did this with quite some thought — opening the envelope, removing the money, and then resealing it. <br /><br />It's a shameful act at any time, but especially at this time of year. <br /><br />And, John, your poem was right on the money.<br /><br />edenEden Bayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08043540142363106345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977373995716589134.post-51124427493510223162011-12-05T15:13:22.792+00:002011-12-05T15:13:22.792+00:00Yeah it's crappy poetry really, but some thoug...Yeah it's crappy poetry really, but some thoughts struck me whilst I wrote it: one is that we should all perhaps make a point of insisting we open anything before we sign for it (my guess is that they wouldn't allow this, hence my point in the poem - couldn't find their Ts & Cs). If they don't allow this, then they hoist themselves by their own petard; if they do allow it then we should all be insisting on opening every letter and parcel before we sign; THAT would cause them grief, because of the huge extra cumulative burden of time it would place on deliveries!poetjanstiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366592443925617507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977373995716589134.post-48212992090280048842011-12-05T14:41:18.755+00:002011-12-05T14:41:18.755+00:00Hey John, thanks for this, I'm trying my best ...Hey John, thanks for this, I'm trying my best not to go down the route of "I'm a single mum who's saved this money out of her benefit etc etc route." But it's so difficult when big corporations like this don't even see why you're so emotional over as they said "just" £200. If it's that small an amount for them, wouldn't it be easy to pay the compensation? Anyway my grief is that someone is out there walking about with the £200 I scrimped together for Santa's visitings. Someone was that dishonest, and went through a letter addressed to me. It it happened to me it could happen to anyone xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
