Things have not changed much

Jun 27, 2013 Letters

 

DEAR EDITOR,
A bit surprising to hear that ‘thieving at the GPO’ is a two-way traffic, and sealed envelopes sent from Guyana to the USA at times “were neatly slit open at one side then re-taped, again very neatly”. I thought it only happened the other way round.
I experienced this in the 1980s on more than one occasion when I posted, from the UK, letters together with cash in envelopes. The addressees never received them. Other contacts told me the same. A woman in Guyana advised us in those days that “Christmas was a bad time” for sending cash in cards as gifts.
It seems that things have not changed much since those days. I now send Christmas greetings on postcards. Anyway, look on the funny side – what do you expect from a building standing at the corner of streets with names like ”Robb and Savage”?
Think about it.
Geralda Dennison
