My post is just not turning up

I read about people living in Shifnal, Newport and Albrighton not receiving their post from Royal Mail.

I live in Woodside and I last received mail just before Christmas and it was nearly four weeks late. My daughter missed her invitation to Madeley Academy for an NVR assessment.

Luckily they had a second one but I've received no mail since whilst awaiting appointments for operations to have lumps removed and hearing aids fitted.

Not that keen on Trump Cup

I have been recently informed that the 2026 World Cup trophy is to be renamed The Donald Trump World Cup. I can't believe that, even taking into account the Donald Trump mentality and the fact that FIFA are to present Donald Trump with a peace award. Imagine the damage it would do if different FAs were to withdraw their teams in protest.
