It broke my letterbox
Share this:
From Robin Hacquoil.
NORMALLY I would be one of the first to congratulate the Minister of Economic Development and Jersey Post for developing new opportunities for Island business.
Stuffing an Argos catalogue which I had not requested through my letterbox was not one of these. It fractured the draught-excluder plate on the inside of my front door.
As if by miracle, the Argos catalogue wedged in my letterbox, when dislodged, practically fell open at page 834 listing letterbox draught covers at £9.99 or £10.99, plus postage of £5.80.
However, I was not about to be seduced by such offers and went to check out one of my favourite family-run Jersey stores, Romerils. Sure enough, they had a variety of letterbox draught covers at lower or very similar prices and of better quality.
I am writing to the chief executive of Jersey Post asking him not to deliver any more Argos catalogues through my letterbox and, with the Minister of Economic Development, to defray the cost of the replacement cover which I bought at Romerils.
