I've also since had an acquaintance reach out via social media with the following, which seems to chime with what others have said;

" I hope you are well and since you posted this I hope you've been to hospital and had the treatment you need and deserve. I didn't want to reply directly to your post because I work for Royal Mail. Since COVID we have been told that if it's busy we have to concentrate on parcels / packets and leave mail. Despite what previous CEO said this HAS been Royal Mail policy. Years ago we would get into serious trouble if we left just one letter in our frame. How times have changed. Privatisation has been a huge mistake and now Royal Mail is owned by Kretinsky, things are going to get worse."

As I feared at the time, this is an endemic issue at the RM and set to get a lot worse. I think this issue might well swell into a social justice campaign, particularly if more and more NHS appointments keep getting missed.

Still experiencing issues with RM here. Family member got a call from the hospital on Wednesday to confirm an appointment on Friday (yesterday)  and nurse asked if they were Ok with all the prep stuff outlined in the letter and booklet- the response was 'what letter?'. Turned out letter sent in August has never been received.

2 more family cards, both sent to Lancashire posted Wednesday 1st class are also missing , but luckily I sent both about 10 days early as I know they have major postal issues  - so there's a chance they might get them for their birthdays. 

On top of all this some of RM prices increase on Monday , just in time for the seasonal rush. Ebay has picked up quite a bit but on  my private account virtually everything is going via Evri this year due to Simple delivery.
