I had a Christmas card arrive here in Exeter on 24th January - from Torquay! I've just seen a Royal Mail van today (Sunday) delivering a parcel to a neighbour. I didn't know they were working Sundays. Recently it was announced that Royal Mail was considering scrapping the Saturday delivery, or even reducing deliveries to 3 days a week. My Radio Times regularly arrives late (it came on Friday last week and is supposed to come on a Tuesday) - fortunately it's the only time-critical post I have.
