Mailed job application returned to woman after nearly 50 years
Written by Angie Sharma on October 8, 2024
A British woman who applied by mail for a job as a motorcycle stunt rider said her application was returned to her after nearly 50 years lost at a post office.
Tizi Hodson, 70, of Lincolnshire, said she mailed out the application in January 1976, hoping to land her dream job as a motorcycle stunt rider.
I always wondered why I never heard back about the job. Now I know why,” Hodson told the BBC.
The letter recently arrived in her mailbox with a note at the top saying: “Late delivery by Staines Post Office. Found behind a [drawer]. Only about 50 years late.”
Hodson said the application letter’s return came as a shock.
“How they found me when I’ve moved house 50-odd times, and even moved countries four or five times, is a mystery,” she said. “It means so much to me to get it back all this time later. I remember very clearly sitting in my flat in London typing the letter.”
“Every day I looked for my post but there was nothing there and I was so disappointed because I really, really, wanted to be a stunt rider on a motorcycle,” she said.
