Has everyone stopped getting letters?

Our mail has gone from being every day,
to a couple of times a week, to once a week, and now we’ve not had any post in 12 days. It’s not just me, our local Facebook is full of people moaning about it. Apparently Royal Mail have frozen recruitment, have no staff, and have a massive backlog due to the snow. They are apparently prioritising parcels, and we’ve had a couple of those.

It is the same story nationwide?

Our local Facebook is also full of people moaning about no post…this is in the midlands. Same reasons given.

I’m in London and this often happens to me. I can go a week or longer without mail and then loads arrive.
