Royal Mail went to first and second deliveries to just one some time
ago. The last letter is in theory about 14.00, which counts as
lunchtime. The first may be something like 10.30, but it will depend
where you are on the round.

So they have half the number of deliveries, and the first is a
minimum of around three hours later than before. This is why people
think they aren't getting as good a service any more.

Because technology has overtaken them. Get real!

Technology helps Royal Mail - mots recently by mapping out all the
delivery points so that rounds can be balanced. Then there's the
postcodes and automatic sorting. None of this, however, is an excuse to
deliver so late in the day.
