My nephew received his Congratulations on Your New Baby card four years after it was sent by my son via Royal Mail from Cornwall to Sussex!

Royal Mail International is appalling. 4 weeks and my envelope (where they are only accepting paper content) still has not arrived in the USA. Post Office is still advising 5-7 days for USA delivery.

We are now in the digital age and society has changed totally and completely. The rise of the internet, e-mails, smart phones and online shopping means high street shops and lots of services are affected, including Royal Mail. I think we will just have to get used to it, the erosion of services we once considered part of everyday life. Welcome to the 21st century.

Yes - we did have 2 deliveries a day. And 2 collections from the local post-box. Since I have been using Gmail, I don’t get as much mail as I used to, except for junk. So really, I haven’t noticed any change.

Or rather lack of it. We've had no post for a week. Why? Because our postman is on holiday and they refuse to either pay overtime or get cover. This after a big drive by Royal mail to get customers to sign up to Pharmacy 2U, online prescription service. I'm now waiting for 3 urgent items, one of which is a prescription. Wasn't that long ago there were 2 deliveries a day.......
