In an ironic twist of events, a woman's 10-000 name petition to save a post office from closure got lost in the post.
According to The Mirror, Linda Atkin of Wincobank, Sheffield, collected 10,000 signatures over a period of ten days to save the neighborhood post office.
She posted the document by recorded delivery to the decision makers, only to be informed that it never reached it's intended destination.
To add insult to injury, after the Royal Mail apologized for not being able to locate the mail, they sent her a book of 12 stamps as compensation.
"It is a joke. We feel absolutely gutted. We did all that work to try to save our post office and thought it was a case of sitting back and waiting for the outcome. Now they say they don't even know where our petition is," the report quoted an enraged Linda as saying. (ANI)
