Stealing People's Mail

And don't get me started on the racism, I shared a flat with her. I was fine, but her windows were repeatedly pelted with eggs

There are many, many Chinese students and Chinese businesses where I live, i.e. massage and nail parlours, takeaways, alternative medicine shops. Perhaps occasional incidents do happen, but certainly it is not common place at all. If anything, it's the Polish businesses (famous Polski Sklep) which are vehemently protested and vilified by traditional and social media, to the point that they are becoming rarity.

Luckily, for 15 years of living here, I was subject to open racist abuse only a few times (not counting insults regularly hurled at me by the well known CUK poster).

This sort of casual racism...

Interesting definition of "casual racism"

I guess it's not formal with uniforms, just on your way home from work stopping for a bit of casual racism.

It's causal racism you really should've been worrying about.

I used to work for Royal Mail in their Customer Service Department when I was in college so know a thing or two about their "service".

1) If you want a package/letter to arrive at it's destination, use Special Delivery and not Recorded Delivery. Recorded Delivery is useless, it's the same as first class, isn't guaranteed and but it's signed for on delivery - that's if the postie can be bothered waiting for you to answer the door, most of the time they sign it themselves and post it through.
2) Anything that classed as "lost/missing" must be undelivered for 14 working days before it's classed as lost/missing.
2) Don't use Royal Mail.

Did the posties sign for the letter themselves most of the time, or in most of the cases that found themselves with the customer service department. There is a big difference and your clarification would be valuable.
