I READ with interest your recent article on Julie Latham about her gift being delayed in the post. I have had a worse experience.

I sent a letter to Nottingham on March 5 and on April 16, I was notified that there was not enough postage on it and was asked to collect it.

This was six weeks later, so when I went to collect it I just tore it up.

Like Julie I could hardly believe that it had taken so long!

Three weeks from Australia in comparison is doing well!
