Post Office Holiday Money Card = SHIT
The deal: Their holiday money card is shit, and it takes three weeks to get your cash refunded. Fucked off. Wrote a letter.

Edited version here, but full 12-inch version with added sarcasm, and a cut-out-and-keep PDF HERE

Dear The Post Office

So, The Business: We went on holiday to Spain this year, and - foolishly, I now realise - we believed your advertising and got hold of one of your Post Office® Travel Money Cards.

If only (and I blame myself for this woefully inept oversight) we read the pages and pages of poor reviews littering the internet.

Because when we arrived home with the best part of 400 Euros in our account, we were told by your helpless help line operators that it would take 15 working days to get a refund, and then, only after we receive a letter telling whoever-it-may-concern that we are entitled to retrieve our money.

That's fifteen working days, or 22 days in the real money.

Twenty-two days in which you task some learned scribe at a remote monastery to write a beautifully-illustrated letter of release on hand-made vellum, sealed with the wax from the very ears of St Julian of Norwich, before being sent on the Mail Coach to our residence in Dorset.

In these days of computer-based and internet banking where moneys are debited and credited to accounts at the touch of a button, why - in the name of Satan's wrinkled testes - does it take the Post Office® three weeks to give me back MY hard-earned blunt?

There has to be a perfectly logical explanation, and I wouldn't mind hearing it. Please use simile, obscure cultural references and Google Image Search to illustrate your reply within the next - God, I love irony - fifteen working days.

Be lucky.

Only sent it last week
..so still waiting for word back.

Postie hasn't wiped his arse on today's mail, so there's still hope.

Because, and I say this as an ex Postmaster,
they're a bunch of cunts.
