Actually I think that postal service does pretty good job (compared to everything else government does). Didn't a comedian say "where else someone would carry your letter to California for 40 cents?" <g>.>

Well, I found out when we were visiting her the following February. The smarties finally showed up 3 months after I had sent them! I answered the door for the post man.
It was not very smart of you to send smarties (pun intended <g>) from England by postal service. Could it be that the England's postal service held on to the package while you were waiting for the "thank you" note? <g>.
