In what has to be an historic cock-up, Britain's mail service has finally delivered a piece of mail that had been waiting for delivery 107 years. Wow is that ever some dang slow mail delivery. The letter in question was penned by one Christabel Mennell and addressed to Ms. Katie March. Letter was addressed to Ms. March living in London, England. Ms.? (gender unidentified) Mennell was in Bath, England possibly taking a bath. I don't really know what Ms. Mennell was up to BUT, Ms. Mennell went to her grave wondering why oh why she'd never been responded to by Ms. March. I'm thinking that miss delivered letter could have explained any number of pressing items and may have been inquiry about the world war Britain was mired in. The year of mailing aforementioned letter was 1916. It would have taken the Pony Express a modest matter of a day or so to have delivered a letter in 1916. The Pony Express had ended their deliveries back in October of 1861 so any real speculation over delivery of mail by Pony Express is wholly unnecessary. A dang snail could have delivered that letter faster than the "Royal Mail" which is what the Brits call their mail service. 107 years? I'm thinking that the 'better late than never' line has a whole new meaning. Now for Friday machine art and this possibly might not take 107 years to post. Hopefully...
