A record, even for ED's posties

A story in this morning's Metro made me smile. Apparently a postcard addressed to a couple in East Dulwich has just arrived, 79 years after it was posted. I know our sorting offices get a lot of stick from frustrated forumites, but surely this is a record, even by their standards...

I can't find a link to the Metro article but here's the Torygraph's report: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/2575059/Postcard-turns-up-79-years-late.html

Think someone saw it first:))

Oh dear - August always is a slow news month and it seems Metro (and me!) are extra-slow then...

Well it's amazing it arrived at all - I posted a vintage postcard to my sister-in-law for her birthday last year, stupidly not putting it in an envelope, and it never arrived - I assume it was nicked en route from the East Dulwich postbox I posted it in to her East Dulwich address.

Perhaps, there's still hope that my 'lost' Amazon parcel might turn up one day.
