Our
postman postwoman postperson 'sigh' start again.
A few minutes ago, our 'written correspondence delivery executive' has deposited seven (7) items through our letterbox, all seven (7) of which were immediately transferred to the bin.
The seven (7) items in question had probably been designed, formatted and printed using computers. They were either then sorted into envelopes, or folded in such a way to show off their super glossy deals.
Delivery of aforementioned items to a mail sorting office would probably have been done using a van, or possibly a lorry, but definitely not by a secretary on her/his lunch break.
As four (4) of the seven (7) items were not from local sources, one must assume some mode of transport was required to get these four (4) items to a local mail delivery office, where they would have been sorted according to postcodes and placed in vans to be distributed to local addresses.
Quite a decent waste of resources, manpower and energy when you think about it, but thankfully we're all encouraged to buy and use energy efficient light bulbs to make up for it
