Letter: Lost letters

What is the Royal Mail up to? I received Christmas cards that apparently criss-crossed the UK; from Dunbar via Southampton, from Inverness via Birmingham, from Dundee via Lancashire and South Lakes, from Fife via Plymouth and Cornwall and from Glasgow via Greenford/Windsor.

Perhaps the gridlock on the roads was nothing to do with the weather, but caused by mail vans driving around the country looking for addresses. Either geography lessons are required or the Royal Mail needs satnavs.
