Man, that post is a goddamn work of art. Reposting in full as it’s just
*so* good;

My house is clearly numbered.
Postman puts two letters through my letterbox clearly numbered
for next door.
I have the door open and calling out to him within about 20 seconds.
Postman stops, then insolently walks away.
I go out onto pavement and shout after him.
Postman responds the same way.
I chase postman to the cul-de-sac. I am, after all, pursuing my civil duty.
Postman refuses to take letters and barges past me, pushing me over
backwards.
I challenge postman to ask his name in order to make formal complaint.
Later that afternoon, neighbour asks me what was that all about, putting
the
postman into headlock?
Post office stop delivering mail.
I write to them immediately to say what had happened.
Post Office do not reply.
I get MP involved to get post delivery resumed.
Plastic Plod Maxine Bromley rings up for my side of the story. I tell her
the same
as I'd told Post Office.
Bromley asks for face-to-face meeting.
I agree for at my house the following Friday (experience with Cook and
Hillbrow qv)
Bromley does not turn up.
Get arrested the following Sunday, and repeatedly assaulted in Melksham
plod
pod.
Make 21 formal complaints about my treatment.
Ploddery breach the procedural rules by trying to start investigation about
complaint
while postman case is still sub judice.
Appear in court and get cleared, costs awarded. Solicitor enquires as to
why
case
was brought because 2 prosecution witnesses all contradict the postman.
Ploddery get on with complaint.
I receive phone call from Christopher Bevan lasting about 45 minutes
wherein
I
describe what happened to me.
I ask Bevan to come to my house to take my statement.
Bevan refuses to take my statement of complaint.
I get subsequent email from Bevan, where he lets slip through his sig block
that he is
in fact the inspector immediately above the plods who assaulted me, and
therefore a close
colleague of those complained about.
I complain to IPCC that the investigation is not independent.
IPCC poo poo me.
I withdraw complaint as clearly proceeding corruptly; Bevan not going to
come down hard on his two buddy-buddy sergeants.
Yesterday, I am amazed to find that the investigation has carried on
without my knowledge and without any statement taken from me.
I receive report which is full of lies that cannot possibly be borne out by
the CCTV record.
Well, you did ask.

I’m not sure which bit is funniest, but I LOLd till I cried a little at
“Later that afternoon, neighbour asks me what was that all about, putting
the
postman into headlock?
Post office stop delivering mail.”
:-D
