[Air-l] Re: Second post in Britain

I am a long-time lurker on this list, and I have followed this thread with interest. While I was in London this summer, there was much hand-wringing in traditional circles about the decision by Consignia (the "corporation" that has now renamed itself "Royal Mail!") to drop the second mail delivery starting 2002. A sample news story (from the Telegraph): http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2002/06/14/npost14.xml People in favor of the decision to drop the "second post" questioned the need for this time-honored tradition in an era of fax and Internet communication.
