So I have to get mail through my company? Do I want the mail room seeing what I get? Do i need to make colleagues have to do more work?
My questions is: is Qatar developing a proper postal service with postcodes (Zips for u septics) and postmen and deliveries and letterboxes or will it always be like this?

that may well be but it is an Australian term not a british one, and the vast majotity of UK residents wouldn't have a clue what you were talking about if you asked them what a 'septic' was.

The term is pretty much unknown to Brits, it is Australian slang after Septic tank/yank, actually the term is 'Seppo' get it?

Corleone - 'ussies'!!! maybe I didn't get your humour, are you suggesting like me Alexa got it wrong and is mixing up her nationalities?

yea, ever since the US sent their medics to infect enemy soldiers with deadly diseases nearing the end of WW2, they've been called 'septics' by the Brits. And the French are called 'ussies' for some similar reason, can't recall...
