Poor delivery of mail from Vanderbijlpark Post Office

Horror of horrors. Yesterday morning I happened to observe through my lounge window, the postman depositing mail in the post box of the house on the opposite side of the street. He then wheeled his bicycle around and approached my palisaded automated gate and attached a letter onto the spikes at the top. The letter looked much like a letter carried in an old fork stick. In an instant, he was cycling down the road out of sight. I watched dumbfounded since my mailbox was on the pedestrian gate a mere 5 meters away. Obviously, this distance was a bridge too far for the postman. Bear in mind that I am almost 70 years of age and on crutches to boot. No, I didn't even bother to contact the post office as I had no intention of incurring a high call fee being shunted from pillar to post. Shame on you Vanderbijlpark Post Office.
