Snail Mail is becoming Slower

Last week I received a letter on Thursday which had been posted locally on Tuesday by a person who does not have a computer and lives two minutes bike ride distant. I informed him that he should engage the more speedier services of the Town Crier.
I recall being in Singapore in the fifties , when a letter posted in London UK and collected for delivery at 9:AM, would reach the recipient within 48 Hours at 4:30 PM - GH time in Singapore.
Sadly, due to the 'De-Havilland Comet (The first jet airliner,British) disappearing en-route a couple of times, the service back peddled to the half speed Bristol Britannia aircraft, which I also recall taking twenty eight hours in 1962, to travel the 8,300 miles to HongKong from London, including two hours both in Istanbul and New Delhi. Plus a wife and three children to provide entertainment during the journey.
In NSW Australia, we have five mail deliveries each week, no Sats or Suns, and I am reliably informed that it is due to the laggardly pace of today's human beings.
Posting a local letter where I live on a Friday at 5 PM; may with luck arrive on Monday, but expect it on Tuesday.
So it has slackened from approx three days delivery to the UK from Oz in the 60's to its present seven to nine days. So it is hardly left to wonder why postal services are decreasing World Wide. Get with it, no-one is too old, get yourself a POOTER.

Comments to The Daily Gaggle web site.

The main reasons for posting matters of interest(Factual or not), is to attract a comment of interest (Or not) from readers frequenting this site.
Most blog sites attract a regular following, some a few and some reach into the hundreds, however I am not into chasing heaps of comments to reply to.

Oddly the least volume of comments are received from the USA & Canada from people well known to me and are regular Visitors but most are under pressure of excommunication from their peers whom I crossed swords with in the past, Criticism is something Nth Americans cannot deal with, a list of these sites is available on request.
Comments from Australia, New Zealand and India lead the charge by those who comment the most, although Australian relatives comments run a very poor dead heat with those in the U/K.
Whether people know how to post a comment, I have no Idea, but it seems Emailing me instead and without reference to my latest post with a deluge of funny comic skits qualifies as their reply and a quick way to get away without commenting. although we still exchange family greeting cards - proving that we are still alive and kicking. Some have not replied in months. some never.

I am asking with all due respect, for all contacts who never reply or those who do not wish to receive Info from this site to contact me by email by April 1 09 to confirm cancellation or otherwise. However, in some cases the status quo will remain.

Commenting for beginners: It is perfectly simple, easier to fathom out than the ancient Abacus or modern type writer and all that is required is one finger or more if you are dexterous.
Simply go to the base of the post or legend and single click onto 'Post a comment' where you are guided through the process. You may use a Pseudo name your real name or given name only, you may also comment anonymously or use a nickname.
Comments are moderated, some edited, excessive foul language will be deleted.
Well that's about all for now, please reply soon. Vest, Daily Gaggle.

Having the last say, particularly to Andrew 'B' Esq, the bane of misspellers.(Is that a word.)

It is in vain to set up a language police to prevent developments. (I have always suspected that correctness is the last refuge of those who have nothing to say.
English usage is sometimes more than mere taste, judgement, and education - sometimes it is sheer luck, like crossing a street.)
