I'm watching the Downton Abbey movie. The opening sequence with the mail delivery is fascinating. Truly, I was amazed by the sorting of the mail on the train. That's a great use of time.

You laugh, but I was being serious. I'm curious to how long it took the mail to get from London to Downton. On the show they got mail twice a day. Was that really a thing?* That was at least two day delivery. Even today a letter might not go that far in two days without paying extra.

*Turns out, it was. Until 1950 in the US mail was often delivered twice a day. Not sure when it was discontinued In the UK.

I just read an article that stated The Munsters ran from 1946-1966. That's 20 years😲😳 That didn't seem right to me. It was 1964-1966. That's a HUGE error. I restate my claim, blogs need to hire me as a proofreader. Sheesh.
