My girlfriend has rented her rental house in Asheville out to an American couple who now live in England. They mailed her a check for the deposit of $2,200, two weeks ago. The letter still has not left England, it has been stuck at Langley England for 11 days. I googled up Langley and there are all kinds of horror stories of packages destined for the US getting stuck at Langley for even a month, or more. WTF?

This is from royalmail.com tracking web site. I just looked this up five minutes ago.
