Late delivery of 3 December 2010 edition

We regret that due to the snow and ice in Kent, Royal Mail were not able to collect the copies of the Friend from Headley Brothers last week. Neither was it possible to take the copies to Royal Mail.

Please accept our apologies for the extreme delay in getting the 3 December issue to you.
