from the guradian this morning….
“Question: How does the post office make sure that 2nd class post arrives a day after 1st class
Answer: On sorting, 2nd class post is sorted into a separate pile. The previous days 2nd class post is added to todays 1st class post and sent out for delivery. Meanwhile todays 2nd class post waits for tomorrows 1st class post before being allowed out of the sorting office.
The cost of this addition sorting is borne by the extra cost we pay for 1st class stamps.”
Sheesh.
haha, funny:-D Though i suppose that it ensures that if the postie’s bag is full, that the 1st class mail is always in it.
