I was wondering, were it not for the modern stamp, if Canada Post were trying to beat the Royal Mail's record in a late delivery!

We make fun of the Royal Mail a lot, but try living over here... A friend of mine last week received the birthday card which I sent him in good time from Italy to Britain. His birthday was at the beginning of August. A bassa le Poste Italiane!
On the other hand, when I lived in India I would receive parcels sent from Britain within ten days, sometimes less, and that was to get to a small monastic settlement in the middle of the jungle more than 100 miles from the nearest town with a sorting office. The legacy of Empire, do you think?
