Question: Is there a genuine reason why the public decry the now common later delivery of mail? What advantage does one get form receiveing main so early as opposed to receiving mail at sometime during the working day, not to mention Saturday morning when many of us see this as part of the weekend rest period?

Once upon a time Royal Mail had an objective for each foot delivery postman to have posted the last letter in the bag by 09:30. There are many commercial reasons why they have moved to longer, later delivery spans all of which make good business sense with the apparent exception of customer satisfaction. So what is it about the early delivery that appeals. Real benefit OR traditional expectation? Over to you...
