I am writing in response to your article on newspaper distribution (CM9-15 August). In my opinion Andy Bull, Eddie Stobart's business manager, could do with staying up one night and travelling down with his driver on the Cornwall run before making such statements.
I don't think drivers who are delivering to WH Smith have got The Mirrorto the retailers by 06:00hrs in the past six months. I am one of a dozen retailers who collects from Smith's every morning, and if waited for my supply to arrive at the shop I would not be able to operate a home delivery service—my delivery team has to be in school by 08:25hrs every morning!
We are never given a reason for the constant late arrival of The Mirror, or told who is responsible. In theory the system sounds good—in reality it just does not work Laurie D McLaren, Winston Hall News, Cornwall.
