It turns out the new postman has not been delivering our mail last 2 weeks because we don't have our names on a nameplate on the door, which is a legal requirement here apparently.
The fact that we had never been told about this and have successfully being receiving it for the last 2 years seems to have been missed.
Worse still, rather than ask or consult a telephone directory, this person (I shall restrain myself from calling him anything else) has been simply returning the mail as "address unknown". No list or record of what he might have returned anywhere either.
We have no idea what mail has been missed during this time, and as I run a business from home I expect some hassles in the near future.
The socialist state and it's excessive rules indeed. I've been thinking about why a nameplate is so important and I think I know. I'll bet it's used as evidence of Danish residency when it comes to those awkward tax cases involving Danes who retain a house here but claim to live in Sweden or Germany so they can drive a half-decent car and keep some of their money in their own pockets.
