One person, rather than writing 'Not known at this address' as normal people do, on his returned envelope went for: I HAVE LIVED AT THIS ADDRESS FOR OVER 25 YEARS. IF YOU OR ANY OTHER COMPANIES OR ROYAL MAIL SEND ME ANY MORE MAIL NOT ADDRESSED TO ME PERSONALLY IT IS GOING IN THE BIN AND I MEAN IT!!!!! Clearly a bit uptight... Ah, baby iguanas Simon! Was there any evidence of the former reptilian inhabitants when you moved into your house? And were the police bothered that you'd broken the law by opening the mail? I really wouldn't have thought people would be that bothered about opening the mail, Piley, even if it isn't addressed to them, when they could clearly see what it was. e.g. the season brochure that they requested.

I was going to say that too, it is indeed an offence to open up mail not adressed to you - not sure how theya ctually find out you did it, but I have often been known to scrawl "not know at this address" on an envelope thats been delivered to Mr Smith here at Piley Towers.

Anyway, the only but of mis-directed mail we've had of note got us all in a tizzy as it contained a cheque and a note thanking the intended recipient for the juveniles. We took it to the police thinking we might be about to crack a pedo ring but it turned out to have been an order for some baby Iguanas. Oh, and yes I am back and plan to get my arse in gear on the first Canada report tomorrow. I’m trying not to think about planting cocks in fresh manure…

Well, I break the law routinely then... I think the polite reluctance is mostly coming from older people. The recipients of my age have just called and said that there's been a problem, but they opened it anyway. No, need to coax them to commit an offence! 'Cock Farm' - sounds like an amusing story about some chickens scratching about outside on a lovely summery day... It’s an offence to tamper with Royal Mail? Well, I break the law routinely then…

That warms my heart. Last time I opened a piece of mail that wasn't addressed to me, it contained a catalogue advertising specialist films, one of which was called 'Cock Farm'. That'll learn me.

I'm sure that explains it. I think there’s still at the back of lots of people’s minds that it’s an offence to tamper with the Royal Mail. I’m sure that explains it.
