Except she says it with words that are too vile for this blog. She's an interesting woman, my mother. Regarding the bad experiences I mention in passing, I have seen mail thrown over the gate into my yard because they would not fit in the letter-box. This would be acceptable under certain circumstances, but certainly not when the postman is aware that it has rained and the ground is wet. Eddy. AS my mother says, some people like it rough.

I agree.

I know for sure that in France if they see "Fragile" on the box, they will start throwing the parcel here and there. If they see "This side up," they will rotate the parcel. I personally know someone who was a Post Office employee in France. I am sure other post office employees around the world have this kind of "fun" too. That being said, I don't know if the rules and regulations in France says that the French Post Office is not responsible for damaged to parcels and that a different service should be used for fragile parcels. I recently watched a documentary on "How the Post Office works?" Most of the mail is handled by machines and therefore the risk of the photos sustaining damage is higher than if the mail was handled by human beings, a bit like suitcases on conveyor belts in airports.
