Seem to remember in the bad owd days before post codes had ever been dreamt of that it was possible to post a letter /card (envelope marked 'Local' ) in the morning and there was a good chance it would be delivered in the afternoon post , This was in the days when the Post Office was operated for the benefit of the customers .
The sorry assed excuse that mail takes longer these days is because more mail is processed is a load of tosh, people probably still get the same amount of proper mail these days even though no one writes letters anymore , the biggest problem is junk mail being delivered every day instead of being 'bundled' and delivered once a week.
