Don't knock the SE23 sorting office please. I have lived here nearly 10 years and every single piece of mail has been there for me to collect. I previously lived three years in E2 and EVERY SINGLE piece of mail that was not obviously worthless was half-inched by the sticky-fingered thieving postman fraternity of Bethnal Green. I even bought a PO box and everything of value was stolen from that. I have reams of correspondence from the post office about it. Reams. Come Christmas time the busy thieving postal workers were so brazen they'd leave the bags on the street once they had been stripped of anything of value. I still remember the sullen looks on everyone's face at the sorting office's collection point as they all walked away empty-handed after queuing for their parcels. A living nightmare a decade ago makes me leap to the defence of the honest posties of SE23. A solar system away from E2.
