I’m seriously fed up with getting “sorry you were out” cards through my door when I'm in

Next thing will be you getting carded for special delivery that someone else paid serious pennys to have at your door by a time.

As they do currently, which is a source of one of the grievances here.

Interesting letter in the London Review of Books today from one Pat Stamp (which sounds almost as pseudonymous as Roy Mayall) - I'll try and dig out an online link.

[Edit] : Here you go.

Very interesting read is that .. the reliance on the Royal Mails wonder panacea 'Pegasus' seems to be at the root of many delivery problems. But, as the author says, it takes a stalwart viewpoint not to believe that the whole insistence on an obviously flawed system isn't a cynical, underhanded mechanism to dismantle public support for the Royal Mail in order to minimise the outcry come the fall of the privatisation axe.

I wonder if they will be able to explain why bills move through the postal system at four times the speed of cheques. ???
