Lesley Kite's daughter is lucky to have received her birthday cards at all (Letters, March 1).

I am still waiting for delivery of one of my cards from July 2002 and my son never received a card posted at the same time, containing five scratch cards. Both were posted in Brighton and full postcodes were used.

What about other post I have been unaware of and has never been delivered? I have contacted the Post Office as the service it provides is deteriorating and all I get is a standard reply with no real solution.
