Going Postal III
10:00 UK time, Wednesday, 24 December 2008
Those people disappointed to hear that the price of stamps is to rise 3p in the new year should draw some comfort from the sterling work of Royal Mail.
Let's hear it for our posties, who delivered 23 of the Magazine's 25 Christmas cards by Tuesday - a full day before Royal Mail's deadline.
The cards were posted second-class on Thursday from west London to 25 volunteers across the UK. That was the last day that second-class post could be posted to make Christmas.
Only two have yet to arrive, the ones destined for Little Neston in South Wirral and Bradford. But they may yet land on doormats in the Christmas Eve delivery.
UPDATE 1515 GMT: Still no word on the last two cards. So, to Natalie and Kerry, and all our readers, Happy Christmas from the Magazine team!
