Of the past, the postman who got around.

[j.sabourn]

In the late 19th. Century there were between six and twelve mail deliveries every day in London which let people send letters and expect to receive a reply the same day, often permitting several such exchanges. Over the years the number of deliveries has decreased and was finally cut to one a day in 2004. From the start however there were never any deliveries on a Sunday.

Never on a Sunday, come to where we live never on a Friday, Melbourne suburb.
Monday it could be as late as 1700 hours, bit earlier other days, but the best bit, our postie lives just around the corner and delivers his onw mail to his own house.
