This morning, they delivered a post card invite, to a couple of meetings with the railway planners, about the ongoing upgrade work. Fine you might think, no problem there - except the meetings actually took place 3 days ago, which suggests RM simply sat on them for at least 7 whole days. I wonder if anyone turned up at the meeting?
In my youth, the postie would deliver twice per day, the items had usually been posted the day before, and the second post was the cheaper stamped 2nd class items. The post could be next day, throughout most of the country, especially in larger towns, but now, it's just an unreliable shambles, with no guarantee of delivery at all, certainly no delivery by any useful date. IT WAS RELIABLE!
We have doctors, and hospital appointments being posted, and being delivered the week after the appointment date/time. It's so bad, that many have stopped using RM for such time critical post. The more who stop using it, the more expensive it becomes to run RM, and the less profitable generally.
