So this was the reply I sent...

"Obviously rudeness was unintentional but there was an incident happening where the dogs were trying to attack the postie. It was an issue of priorities, we are already on the Royal Mail's hitlist.

Glad to hear L was not seriously injured and yes, character is a good thing to possess. "
