Every year I go to visit the local sorting office in either Hexham or Ponteland to meet the posties who do such sterling work on our behalf. The posties do a huge amount of business: in December 2014 they handled and delivered over 120 million parcels. Tomorrow at 7.30am I am visiting the Hexham office.
