Trouble with parcels part II
The Post Office still seem unable to find a post code, let alone a three-storey mill with a 100 foot chimney.
Two parcels returned to sender this week. I do struggle to see what the problem is. Both had the correct post code in the address and, as I have mentioned before, the post code is for this building and this building alone.
The address is Bankfield Mill and, not unreasonably, the building is a mill, and it adheres to many of the visual clichés: it’s tall with a sloping roof, loads of windows in rows and a tall chimney. My name is on the door. What more do they want?
I would apply to the council for permission to erect a 200ft red arrow on the roof with the accompanying legend: ‘IT’S HERE, DICKHEADS”, but I fear I would be turned down.
So, in lieu of the obvious, I’m making a sign for above the door that says, simply: Bankfield Mill, to distinguish it from all the other mills that don't surround it. It may help.
