A million letters and parcels go through Langley Customs and Excise, every day.

A decade ago I sent a birthday card to one of my grandsons, whose birthday was in three weeks time and who lived on one of the Dutch Colonies in the Caribbearn.
I was told at the Post Office that it would take a week to arrive. I handed over £11+ and as the clerk had said I could track the card I logged in daily to the PO website. The first mention of it arriving anywhere was the south coast of England one week later. It was still languishing on the English coast a further seven days later. Grandson didn't receive his card in time for his birthday - it was the first and last time I sent him a card by snailmail.
