Speaker 1: Quest.
Speaker 2: Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1: Got an email from Sharon Morgan about Jack Post's problem
Speaker 1: with oz Post the promise he had last week with
Speaker 1: his delivery the itch cream. How's it all worked out?
Speaker 1: By the way cream on ititch gone? It is gone.
Speaker 1: This is great news. What a day? Huh? What a
Speaker 1: time to be alive? All right? Anyway back to Sharon Morgan, Christian.
Speaker 1: Yesterday I had a phone call from a guy who
Speaker 1: had received my meal. He lives at a Rugby Crescent.
Speaker 1: I live at a Rupert Walk. Fortunately this was not on
Speaker 1: his person who rang to let me know so I
Speaker 1: could collect it from him. How hard is this? Streets
Speaker 1: are next to each other. Put in Google Match it
Speaker 1: gives you Direction's pretty easy. However, haven't said that. I
Speaker 1: think Australia Post overall is doing an outstanding job. That's
Speaker 1: some Sharon, Yeah. I mean you hear about this quite
Speaker 1: a lot, don't you. Wear People have like if they
Speaker 1: live in flats, whether it's flat one A, two A,
Speaker 1: three A and you're ordering a pizza and it must
Speaker 1: be a nightmare where anytime you go to order anything
Speaker 1: over the phone, you have to do that one or
Speaker 1: two line explaining it. Oh and by the way, when
Speaker 1: you turn up, don't press the buzzer for Flat one
Speaker 1: eight that is our address.
Speaker 2: It looks like one twenty three bits one twenty three A.
Speaker 2: You got to go round the back up the stairs.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I always thought it must be awful if your
Speaker 1: dress is a nightmare where you have to explain it
Speaker 1: to someone on the phone. I don't leave it there,
Speaker 1: or wear that buzzer or it says that, or you'll
Speaker 1: post go somewhere else around the corner, a couple of
Speaker 1: streets away, and you have to once a week go
Speaker 1: and get their posts.
Speaker 2: Well, often in a suburb, and I hate seeing this
Speaker 2: when they've got like a barkley crescent in a barkly street,
Speaker 2: you know, two streets from each other. That must get
Speaker 2: confused all the time.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I also live at a number eight, the house
Speaker 1: that we have before we moved here. Lived there for
Speaker 1: ten years and it was sort of just opposite. This
Speaker 1: is ridiculous. I don't know what the town plans are doing,
Speaker 1: but it was just opposite. I lived on Dorking Avenue
Speaker 1: and there was a Dorking Road opposite my opposite road.
Speaker 1: Why would you do that anyway. One day I get
Speaker 1: a text on the garage that have been servicing my
Speaker 1: cargo and we've dropped your car off and I think
Speaker 1: there's now car outside. So I ring them and go
Speaker 1: you can't dropped it off and they went, no, no, it's
Speaker 1: been dropped off. The young lad said he dropped off
Speaker 1: but the keys, so letterbox went there are no keys
Speaker 1: more bortanly no car And then for two hours they
Speaker 1: can't work out the guys that he dropped off at
Speaker 1: your house. And then on Twitter get this. I just
Speaker 1: see a tweet from someone who follows me going we've
Speaker 1: got your car. I twok them out going DM me,
Speaker 1: I have actually lost my car. They say we live
Speaker 1: at number eight Dorking Avenue. I was at Dorkin Crescent
Speaker 1: number eight. They happened to be following me on social
Speaker 1: media and listened to the show someone has just dropped
Speaker 1: off a car and put the keys through the letterbox
Speaker 1: and bug it off. They had my car. The occasional
Speaker 1: would get my post but the car is a bit much.
Speaker 1: The Christian O'Connell show podcast, So Nightmare addresses you ever
Speaker 1: lived at one? You can email me your stories. Christian
Speaker 1: at Christian O'Connell dot com dot au. We're talking about
Speaker 1: nightmare addresses. Did you ever have a nightmare address? One
Speaker 1: of those where you always have to explain it to
Speaker 1: people and how to find your house or your flat
Speaker 1: or your apartment. Tell us about your nightmare address.
Speaker 3: It is a nightmare. I have an address. It's a
Speaker 3: rural property in Paradise. Lovely place in Paradise, but my
Speaker 3: mail does not get to me. My last letter that
Speaker 3: I had sent to me took just over a month
Speaker 3: and it was returned through Australia Post three times. It
Speaker 3: also had three male stamps to say that it had
Speaker 3: been returned. It had texta crossing out the barcodes and
Speaker 3: saying send two address and it still took over a
Speaker 3: month to get there.
Speaker 1: See this is what I used to think when I
Speaker 1: should watch TV shows as a kid about Australia, like
Speaker 1: Flying Doctors. I just presume this was Australia.
Speaker 2: Sorry, brother, Dad, I'm going to three. You probably won't
Speaker 2: be able to contact me.
Speaker 1: So why is the address in Paradise? I'm so hard
Speaker 1: to find me.
Speaker 3: Look, I don't know. It's got something to do with
Speaker 3: the Australian post system, but Australia postponents basically don't have
Speaker 3: Paradise on the list as a mailing area, so it
Speaker 3: sort of bounces around between a couple of post offices.
Speaker 1: That's what you're saying is meca is Australian post does
Speaker 1: not recognized Paradise live.
Speaker 2: How many people live in Paradise A few?
Speaker 3: Like one hundred?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's worthy enough, surely a post yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we've got our postcode. But up there the
Speaker 3: postcode sort of covers about five different areas, so as
Speaker 3: long as it gets to the post office, you know,
Speaker 3: they sort it out there. But it doesn't even get
Speaker 3: to the post But.
Speaker 1: This must mean like Christmas, Birthday cards and like bills
Speaker 1: and stuff. That must be a nightmare for you.
Speaker 3: By the time I get bills, they're overdue.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 2: When the debt collectors come, hopefully they can't find your
Speaker 2: front door exactly.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 3: That's the way I look at her, like if a
Speaker 3: letter can't get to me, like you know, no one
Speaker 3: else would be having to come.
Speaker 1: Well, Christian know Connells Show podcast
