Surprised that the post office in Guyana is so slow

Jun 10, 2017 Letters

Dear Editor,
I was a bit surprised to learn that letters sent through the Guyana post office can still take so long to arrive at the destination (Freddie Kissoon’s column of June 9, 2017, “Nigel Hughes’s post office letter in dysfunctional Guyana.”)
In the late 1990s, while in Guyana, a friend who lived in Crown Street, Queenstown, sent me an invitation to a pre-Christmas ‘drinks evening’, when I lived in Section K, Campbellville: it arrived roughly week after Christmas.
She had put it in a letter box in the city, and presumably it was delayed at every stop. I had to apologise profusely afterwards, because not only may it have appeared ill mannered on my part, but I missed a chance to socialise with my small circle of friends which I needed, as a relief from spending every Christmas day with my plate of pepper pot and rice, a slice of black cake and a drink, on a tray balanced on my knee, watching TV, except one, when visiting UK friends invited me to lunch at their East Coast home. All because of an indifferent post office service.”
The more things change ….”
