Prompt:
How happy are you with your delivery services and post office? Are they on time or do they make mistakes? What would you do if you were delivered a large and heavy box of something that neither had your name or your address on it?

We seem to get less service as the years go by. We used to get two deliveries a day. The morning post followed by the afternoon delivery. That was many years ago though when I was a child.
For many years we’ve had daily deliveries of letters, but that’s been cut to once every other day. Package services have taken over from letters as no one seems to write them anymore. Amazon are pretty good for parcels but the courier often leaves a package next to the mailbox if it doesn’t fit in. As we’re on a busy street any package could easily be stolen. I’ve complained, but now have any Amazon parcel mailed to a Collection box nearby.

When I first came to Australia in 1972 I’d write to my mother each week. I’d Mail it on Thursday night. The following Thursday I’d get a letter from mum. So each week we’d both get a letter. Nowadays it can take up to a month for mail to reach England from Australia.
They say the age of technology is beneficial to us all. I say, Humbug!
