Stit,—Sir Stanley Unwin writes, I think, of conditions in Hampstead.
In St. John's Wood, much of it little over a mile from Oxford Circus, the service is even worse. In this road many residents do not get their letters until 8.45 a.m., which makes attention to them by return quite impossible.
Everywhere one goes one sees un-uniformed and slack youths deliver- ing letters with continued carelessness and disinterest. They are even allowed, now, to take their bicycles with them, which wastes at least an hour per delivery. The old keenness and pride of service has completely gone. Why cannot we have a delivery at 7 a.m. and cut out the ridiculous waste of the noon delivery for second-class matter ? Like the banks, the Post Office is certainly doing all it can to impede economic recovery.—
Yours truly, FRANK WARD. 35 Springfield Road, St. John's Wood, N.W. 8.
