Twice since June I have recieved letters from my bank in England,at my addy here in Spain which,from the dates on the letters have taken 5-6 weeks to reach me. Meanwhile the bank have been charging me for being overdrawn, which I was completely unaware of,due to a hiccup with my pension.
Can´t help thinking that it was very much to the bank´s advantage. Post normally takes 3-5 days.

I sent a few postcards from Corfu and have been back three weeks yet only a couple of people, or three maybe, have said they have received the cards.

My sister sent a card from Turkey and it took over 4 weeks. I think once it reaches this country post cards are a very low priority.
