We live in a VERY rural area,down a country lane,some half a mile from the village high street.
Our drive is quite long too (about 400 feet),
BUT
Phil (our ever reliable postie)
HAS
got through every day so far!
Just remember this when the government sells off the profit making parts of Royal Mail,and what happens then to the non profit making (our ordinary mail) part.
When the posties strike,they are striking for themselves AND for us too, to preserve just the above sort of service.
