The Long Road to Bermondsey

On 2nd September the Diocesan Office in Borough High Street posted a letter to us at St James Vicarage, a mere 1.4 miles away.

The letter arrived 24 days later.

It had travelled at the rate of 100 yards a day.

It would have been quicker to have sent it by tortoise.

In fact, according to Google, your average Tortoise could have covered the 1.4 miles from Borough to Bermondsey in eleven hours, or about 48 times faster than Royal Mail.
