If your NIP arrives late blame the Post Office and a new speed limit of 56mph for post office lorries!!!!

How ironic if speeding fines were delayed because of a speed restriction!!!

Always? Are you so young? :hehe:

Limiters were introduced for HGVs between 1994 and 1996.

Go a bit further back and they were exempt a lot more .
However it's nice to see that you can get phone service from the PO-how novel :roll:

I bet they have still got some old stationary they could re-use.
