I stopped using couriers London - Scotland - too unreliable (certainly in W Highlands). Royal Mail does a fantastic, reliable, not that expensive next day service
Couriers seem amazingly expensive now. I don't know if it is inflation, or the fact that there isn't as much paper going around means a van that might have been going from Scotland to England with 50 lever arch files from 10 different law firms is now a motorbike taking 1 from a single law firm.
That reminds me of THE biggest twot of a partner, who sent a paralegal to his main home several hundred miles away to fetch his London house keys as didn't want the inconvenience of a locksmith visiting, only to ring up and tell them to turn around when nearly there as they had turned up.

I'm immediately reminded of the Velvet Underground's The Gift.

If I were a trainee in London I'd probably love a day out to Edinburgh.

They'd be terrified at the prospect of leaving the Home Counties judging by those around here.

Wot Blindtom said. Sounds like a good gig.
