When I lived in Chicago in 90s I experienced what a bad postal service was like.  I'm a singer and I used to get the schedule of gigs by post - email existed but wasn't popular yet - and more than once I missed a gig because a letter took more than 2 weeks to get to me from downtown Chicago just a few miles away.  Fingers crossed it never gets to that level.

At least they put it through your letterbox here - in Turkey you hear the beep of a lazy b***ard's motorbike at the gate and have to walk out and take the mail off him!

Business minister Michael Fallon sought to reassure people that the six-day-a-week universal service was protected.

"It is the law - it's an Act of Parliament that was passed two years ago and only Parliament could ever change that," he told BBC News.

"I can't think of any political party that would want to reduce the service that we all rely on."

Since he didn't make an comment in this topic, I assumed Highlander didn't have an opinion on this.

So imagine my surprise when he was on the STV News talking about it tonight.
