Yeah, but (i) they weren't square, and (ii) the other 13 - same size - went without problems. Of all of them, they picked the one to my mum.

I wonder if they are still doing that while on strike? I hope so. Not sure if they are still on strike or not but they were for quite some time.

Nope not from her 2 to 3 days normally to the UK...in fact I've received replies back within a week of posting. I mentioned the tape because it's larger and heavier than a normal letter.

nope 3 to 4 from the uk but much longer going from here....my OH always said the mail service was crap here and he was always amazed at how efficient our uk postal service is certainly during the 18yrs he lived there. the square envelope business is ridiculous!
