Pillar to post
This means that I cannot know whether my crossword entry will be delivered in Edinburgh on Thursday morning unless I send it by first-class post, and this from a pillar box at the entrance to Polmont Station, a mere four miles from a main Post Office in Falkirk.
I wonder how many years have passed since the “service” offered by Royal Mail would require more than 72 weekday hours to deliver a letter to a city address little more than 25 miles from an urban pillar box.
