As I understand it, when brentford Delivery Office receives bags of mail very early in the morning from the Jubilee Mail Centre..and other depots..it first of all has to be sorted into "walks" and then subsequently into house numbers etc.Increasingly this process is be modernised ..so that postmen don't have to sort so much mail. But when they do ...missorting can too often come into play. Worple Road envelopes might get delivered to Worple Avenue, mail for number 75 may go to 15 and so on.Out of a bundle of 14 items I received recently, four were for other locations. The Brentford Delivery Office has a kind of unfriendly aspect. "Don't park your vehicles here after 8am" or whatever. and you can only collect your mail before say 11.30am!Do you have problems making telephone enquiries there?How about missing mail and missorts?Whilst the postmen may missort mail, members of the public sometime wrongly address mail. An envelope addressed to say 51 The Mall W6..should really have been addressed to W5. W6 was perhaps an unoccupied house..and the missing could be lodged there for ages. So if the postman delivers your mail to the wrong house..the folks there could be on holiday for another 2 weeks!..and when they find your mail what do they do with it?
