Strange EMERGENCY Request

Post by StuartBrookes »

Hi,

This is going to be one of the strangest requests ever, but I'm going to try.

I go on holiday on Wednesday, I went to the Royal Mail Sorting Office in Bexleyheath this morning to collect a parcel... I've left my passport in there and its not open till Monday am... Trouble is, I'm only 99.9999999% certain I've left it there, not 100%.

I'm desperately trying to find an emergency number for Royal Mail or a number for a key holder.

Does anyone know of an emergency number, does any Royal Mail employee reading this know of anyway to contact anyone in the Bexleyheath Royal Mail employees that can somehow contact someone to find out who the keyholder is?

I would say your local police station would have contact details of the keyholder

I doubt very much they would give out that information to you, but they may be willing to pass on a message to the keyholder for you

The only problem might be that at weekends your local police station is closed and all matters are handled through an area centre, who may not be so obliging as a local station

Might be worth trying - tomorrow morning I would suggest btw, not at this time of night :wink:

I tried the local police station, they reckon they don't have any contact details... I then asked what they'd do if there was a fire or a break in, she sort of said "oh, thats a good point, maybe we should look at getting details" - lol... I also tried the Fire Station, to no avail.

So did you get your passport?!
Does this rag smell of chloroform to you?

At the very least, he could send us a postcard.
Or maybe his flight was cancelled due to the problems in Moscow and he didn't need his passport after all. :nana
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
