Don’t get me started
We only get post around once a week now.
Of course it’s all unofficial but after a straw poll of villagers was taken
I have come to the conclusion that letters are not a priority for the Royal Mail and that weekly visits are becoming the norm. Today I’ve had three letters and each one posted back at the beginning of march
Go figure that one
Today the postman couldn’t push the letter box open, so he called through the open window
I explained that I had to jam a knitted Father Christmas into the letter box itself to keep it shut in the gale force wind of yesterday.
He looked faintly surprised but said “ like you do”
Postal deliveries are definitely being scaled back.
ReplyDeleteWe were receiving Christmas cards throughout January, posted from England in early December.
Suddenly this week, after months of post all coming at once just a couple of times each week, it's gone back to everyday one at a time delivery - very odd.
ReplyDeleteHope FC is OK after being jammed in a letter box - sounds very cruel!
My village is still getting mail daily - even on a Saturday.
ReplyDelete"As you do...", I use that quite often. Hope the wind has died down and you got your mail.
ReplyDeleteHahahahahaha, quick thinking!
ReplyDeleteIt seems the gale force winds have crossed the pond and are trying to blow this section of Ohio out to sea! Cautions against driving have been issued and my cats & I are trying to remain calm as objects fly by like a scene from Wizard of Oz! Some items mailed to me from a few states away have taken four weeks to arrive. (I hope you received a greeting card I sent months ago for your graduation.)
ReplyDeleteWhat's a knitted Father Christmas?
ReplyDeletewe get Tuesday and Thursday one week. M T & F the next....
ReplyDeleteOur post is the same, letters always come together after a period of no post.
ReplyDeleteLove your creative method for blocking yesterday's gale force winds from coming inside!
ReplyDeleteYesterday's gale force winds here brought cold and took down a few branches but am glad to say the trees stayed up.
We're still getting M-S mail, except for during the recent snow and ice when the mail was held for 9 days.
I forgot to mention yesterday that I loved the drone view of Trelawnyd.
Hugs!
Same here. We had no post for days, then 15 pieces of mail in one day, several of which were dated weeks ago. In Victorian times, there were numerous deliveries every day, now we're lucky if we get one delivery a week! Progress? xx
ReplyDeleteThe price of stamps for standard letters within the UK is going up again, 91p and £1.80. Letters are held back to give priority to parcels.
