[Healeys] Denis Welch, the Royal Mail and a mid week Rant

[Kees Oudesluijs]

These Covid-19 days mail (at least in Europe) is slow. Not enough air 
planes, parcels are kept in "quarantine", lack of staff and space , 
whatever. E.g. shipping a parcel from Holland to Ireland lasted nearly a 
month as did several other parcels although less extreme.
