I'm sure everyone has noticed that all delivery services are taking much longer.Parcel Force seems to be the quickest at the moment,with most of the others efficient, but taking longer.Our DPD driver looked knackered on Saturday and said he was just finishing a 30 hour shift!!
Royal Mail parcels 2nd class are now taking up to 10 working days and many sorting offices are prioritising mail over parcels.All delivery services report more parcels to deliver than during the Christmas rush. Such are the times we are living in and I think we will have to get used to these types of problems for months to come. The two best things to come out of this is the fantastic community spirit and a nation pulling together,which once this is all over will,I hope,help build a very different country and world all for the better.
Secondly, how many of you have noticed the huge drop in pollution and how much nicer it is to breathe cleaner air.Our property faces South and Dartmoor is now clearly visible, before when the wind was from the East you could guarantee a daily haze of varying density as pollution from the Continent blew in...........starider
