The post seems to reach our street OK - but it's pretty random as to who gets who's post! Still - it builds the community spirit......

first class recorded
Posted last monday- arrived yesterday

Add into that the fact that they have suddenyl started leaving recorded/signed for mail on the doorstep with no signature, and you have a fantastic postal service.
no really.

I had a parcel from Canada hit Mount Pleasant sorting office on the 7th December. I was asked to collect it from my local PO on the 16.

The post is very erratic at the mo, some things I've expect to be delayed haven't been. There is a lot of pressure on the PO and IIRC they have reduced the amount of employees.
