Stand and Deliver

摘要

Outside a 14th-century cottage on the edge of a muddy track, five miles from the nearest town, a little red van stops six days a week. Its driver calls out a greeting and occasionally passes over a letter. This is Royal Mail at its finest and its least cost-effective. Rain or shine it visits each home in these rugged hills on the border between England and Wales, delivering letters for the same 30p stamp that it charges to carry mail across London.
