Yesterday the kids and I heard a car screech up our driveway at high speed followed by a loud bang.  Fearing an accident we ran outside just in time to see the Australia Post parcel contractor reverse out of our driveway and speed off down the street.  At our patio gate stood a package we had been expecting, thank God it wasn’t fragile because this dude didn’t even get out of his car… he just tossed it at the gate as if he were a footballer getting rid of a ball.  The loud bang we heard was our new hard back book smashing against the metal bars. We were horrified and I wasted no time in ringing up Australia Post to lodge a formal complaint.  The guy who took my details ended up laughing when I explained what happened so I don’t hold out much hope for anything being done about it.
