Deliver post on a Sunday!
Posted by Chris @ 8:39 pm
I'm sorry, but is this not the 21st century, are we not one of the most powerful countries in the world? The reason I pose these questions? Because I can't get a letter delivered on a bloody Sunday!
Seriously, why, in this day and age is it so hard for our postal system to deliver the post on a Sunday. Yeah, a few people might whinge on about Sunday being a special day to a shrinking few of the population, but I'm sure there will be plenty of posties only too happy to deliver on a Sunday to get a bit extra in their pay packet.
And think of the benefits, no more late Mother's day cards (ahem), letters sent 1st class arriving the next day, whenever you post them, businesses and people alike will no longer be able to use “it's in the post” as an excuse. Moving house might actually be quicker!
I'm seriously considering adding this as a petition to old Tony's online petition website. But that leads me on to a whole new rant. The number of stupid people on there petitioning for Sunday to be a holy day again, and everything to be shut. A bunch of fools, let shops open if they want to, if you don't want to shop on a Sunday, then don't! Luckily the stupid are out numbered by the sensible asking for Sunday trading laws to be abolished. Phew, rant over I think. So in summary, deliver post on a Sunday, and yeah, why not do away with the Sunday trading laws at the same time.

Relax. Take a break. Have a day off. Maybe a Sunday? You seem a bit wound up.What difference will it make if your letter arrives one day later?
I'm sure that if SDL said "Right, weve decided that people can't wait another day for localistaion."Riley, your working Sunday."
Then you would be ranting.

Anonymous, I think you missed the point. Delivering mail on a Sunday will make a difference. Imagine the things you could get done if a letter turned up on Sunday instead of Monday , you'd actually have the time to deal with it! And I will still have my Sunday off, why wouldn't I, and I'm not suggesting we force people to work Sundays. Pay them to work the overtime, people need the cash and will do it.Finally, if you're going to comment on my blog learn a bit of basic grammar. Your line should have read we've and you're, not weve and your.

Anonymous, glad to see you know when you are wrong and I am right. ;o)Any Tony, I knew my comment would draw out your usual jibe about my use of the apostrophe and its. What can I say, I've managed to hit my personal comment quota for this month with one blog post, quality! (That is a joke by the way, there is no such quota, before you ask.)
