I think it is easy to have a pot shot at Royal Mail.
I am a postman and these are very difficult times for all key workers although nowhere near anybody who works for the NHS.
A combination of sickness, those self isolating, new working practices and a vast increase in parcels due to online purchasing is bound to be challenging.
I can only speak of our office where great efforts are being made on a daily basis but I suspect most posties are going the extra mile so to speak, only too pleased to do their bit to help keep the economy going to some extent.
Incidentally, my Speedway Star stills turns up most Thursdays, and incidentally Royal Mail has just met their target of First Class Mail arriving the next day.
So, while Speedway Star arriving late is not right, I think there is a bigger picture here that is more important.
Additionally, there is also a Digital Subscription that may be more suitable.
