I feel I must defend the Royal Mail, here, Andrew. The working
practices in some of the sorting offices might hark back to the bad
old socialist days of the 70s, but it is extremely convenient, not to
mention umweltfreundlich, to have a post office only a few metres
away (300m). I can cycle to post a parcel, or to pick one up if I
wasn't at home when one arrived for me.
The commercial system of couriers is utterly useless and their depots
are a good hour's drive away.
Long live the Royal Mail!
