Royal Mail - Praise for a change...

I got a "Sorry you were out card" yesterday. Filled in clearly with date and time; boxes ticked for Packet and "Signed For".

On the back it announces the Christmas opening times for the delivery office.

Opening at 0630 on weekdays (instead of 0800) and until 2000 one day a week. Open 0630 to 1500 on Christmas Eve (not 0800 to 1200 like a normal Saturday).

Hurrah! They've actually caught on to the fact that people might be out during the day because they go to work and opened at hours when we can possibly get there...

No idea what it is though - I haven't ordered anything recently (taht hasn't already arrived) - so will find out tomorrow.
