I spoke to the regular postman some time ago before all the deliveries went haywire, he told me then parcels were being prioritised over letters and that he had more parcels on his round up to 25kg, i think Royal Mail had to try to compete with the likes of Amazon and DPD at the expense of regular mail, emails will no doubt have had an effect on the volume of letters. Be interesting to see if magazine subscriptions have fallen generally nationwide.
