Going Postal III
10:07 UK time, Friday, 2 January 2009
The good news is that all 25 Christmas cards sent by the Magazine to 25 readers have now arrived.
The bad news in our good-natured postal experiment is that two did not make it in time for Christmas, despite being sent second-class on Thursday, 18 December - the last day for second-class Christmas post.
The last recipient accounted for was Natalie Ellis in Bradford, who got in touch yesterday to report that her partner had forgotten to mention that it did arrive last Saturday. And it now has pride of place on her mantelpiece.
So nearly all the cards arrived on time. Well done, Royal Mail. After all - to misquote Meat Loaf - 23 out of 25 ain't bad.
