It's already 77 miles to take the mail between Aberystwyth and Shresbury so an extra 42 to or from Chester can surely only mean earlier collections and later deliveries :sad: but I suppose that's what they call progress or mean by 'modernisation'. :sad:

Yes, that's about 95 miles :Very Happy but if that sort of distance is possible, Mail Centres can be 190 or so miles apart which means that there don't need to be many of them across the country. :shock: :sad: :shock:
