SUPER 30 DIVIDES OPINION

Something struck me as I wrote my Christmas cards this year to close family and friends. Compared with last year, quite a few sadly passed away in 2025.

Each year I promise myself I will post my cards in good time but invariably I leave it till the next minute. Cards to India are very much a hit and miss affair. I think I am doing well if half the cards get through to the person intended. On occasions, I get an acknowledgement that the card, posted in December, has arrived in April the following year. Quite often, they simply vanish into the Indian ether. This is mysterious because the British left behind an excellent postal service.
