Royal mail Christmas card

[lucca]

Have received a Chtistmas card from Royal Mail giving details of extra services e. g. more deliveries etc. (who'd have thought it - at Christmas!!!) I imagine every household in the country will be getting one of these. What an absurd waste of money (yours and mine). Anyone agree?

Many people like to know when the official 'last posting dates' for Christmas are. The Post Office would be widely castigated if they failed to disseminate the information.

Given that postal delivery staff now go to every house on their round anyway (because the Post Office delivers 'junk mail' as well as 'addressed mail') the simplest way to provide such information is to put a leaflet through everyone's door. Designing that leaflet in the form of a Christmas card costs little more than simply producing a 'flyer', so it seems to be a good idea to me.

PS: My only complaint is that the artist has failed to melt the snow around the chimneys on the houses. Surely, if it's as cold as that, the occupiers would have lit their fires?

Nothing to burn until the Christmas cards arrive, Chris.

Yes we got one, I think it is good to know posting dates.

I'm trying to work out what was wrong with the info being widely available (in the Post Office, newspapers etc) as it was in the past. Helluva lot of trees they chopped down, this way.

As an in joke, us posties never knew there was a Sunday delivery planned. Rotten sods!
