Mother, 24, is stunned after Royal Mail delivered a postcard 112 years after it was sent to the previous owner of her house.
A silly story of the type that appears in local and national newspapers from time to time). And in some versions of the article Royal Mail gets the blame - as if it had been hanging on to the card for so long. It's worth next to nothing, like a number of other used postcards that are a century or more old, and some people might think it harmless fun to put it through the letter-box.
And just as I was about to "Submit Reply" I noted this comment to the Daily Mail article:
"Can I just say, I originally asked our local Plymouth newspaper to post this story - for free to see if I could find any of her family and give them the post card. I didnt contact the daily mail or have they contacted me I haven't been paid anything. I got the postcard delivered, thought it was incredible and wanted to reunite it with family. "
Obviously a very contrived story!
