I have been aware that the post office has a backlog on post deliveries. Today I got a sense as to just how far behind they are.

I received a set of business bank statements dated 11 August 2018 today. Hooray! At last! I thought, as I sat down to reconcile.
And discovered I still have not received the July 2018 batch as yet.

I also got the 12 October 2018 set today. But you guessed it, no September 2018 statements as yet.

When a client says "the cheque is in the mail - I sent it months ago", seems it could be true just at the moment
