I shall bookmark  it until an appropriate time to contribute lol

Good to hear from you Mike after a very long time away from the forum, can only hope life is moving in the right direction for you! Yes, you are early and caught me out with no Xmas greetings ready yet ... catch up later! Take care!

Good idea to post Christmas cards early......last year, strikes were blamed by Royal Mail. The year before, Covid was blamed......this year, I await their excuse. I know a few actual reasons for the last couple of years. One of the biggest ones is parcels are prioritised over letters/cards/magazines. Another is many posties were given voluntary redundancy in the Spring......fewer staff = bigger rounds.....which cannot be done in the hours.

They may not be so inundated this year with prices so high ... £1.25 for first class ... robbery and no doubt out of reach for many folk!!!

Agreed, but cards have been dropping off for quite a few years now. The few that do get sent are still spending long periods in offices unsorted, unprepped and/or undelivered for the two reasons above. One other thing I would say is posting cards in the last week before Xmas is a waste of a card and stamp. Posties will be spending the time delivering parcels not late cards.

My, you are off the mark early this year Mike!! Will add my post in the coming weeks, thanks.

Some people haven't even thought of chrimbo yet. There's a pending house move before I even start thinking about get around to that.

Take pity - I've got to do shopping for house-related stuff during the annual retail bun-fight.

Bump

Yep. 

My diary at the moment has open to potential last minute changes.
