I have to be very careful with this sort of stuff but the info is pretty easy to find.


It’s an absolute shit service… the card I posted 1st class on the 17th for 22nd birthday still hasn’t arrived??…. probably an employer opening cards in the hope there is money inside! :shake head:… don’t deny it happens within the organisation! :roll:


That’s nothing Gabby, read this…

“The longest time elapsed between a letter being posted and its delivery is 89 years. In 2008, Janet Barrett, a guest-house owner in Weymouth, Dorset, UK, received the letter – an RSVP to a Boxing Day party invitation, which had been posted on 29 November 1919.

The message inside read: “Dear Percy, Many thanks for the invitation, be delighted. See you on the 26th December. Regards Buffy,” and was delivered in a plastic bag with a note from the Royal Mail (the UK postal service) apologizing for any damage – but offering no explanation for the inordinately long delay.”

I can only hope Buffy met Percy all those years ago :awesome:

Or some postman was jealous of Percy and hid Buffy’s RSVP :awesome:

Strange things happen.

He must have then posted it using his mobility scooter years later. :pmsl:

With the festive season fast approaching, and the Christmas cards and presents being mailed, I’m wondering if the royal mail take on extra workers to be able to cope?

Asylum seekers, bored out of their tits in hotels, but only those with good English skills ought to be given an opportunity to make some money then.
It would be good for their soul to feel useful.
