Lee and I were discussing the slowness of the Royal Mail at the minute and the fact that of two packages that he had sent First Class on Saturday, one had arrived on Monday morning and the other on Wednesday. Anyway had a drunken chat with a postman in my local last night and found out why this is happening. Apparently it's new rules put in by the people running the Royal Mail. There's restrictions as to how many hours a postman can work meaning certain people aren't even getting a delivery on certain days because it's not feasible. Also junk mail is prioritorized over everything else including First Class post. So if your postie has to leave some letters behind it'll be proper mail rather than some crap that's going straight in the bin.
