Hi, we live in a rural location, and sometimes (rarely) mail is not delivered on time because the farmer is moving sheep etc, and the postie will write 'gate closed' or similar, which for the most part I understand. yesterday we got a letter with M/S and the previous day's date written on it - wracking our brains but can't figure out what M/S means - any suggestions please?
