Postal systems have been in operation for many centuries.From way back in history, people sent letters to each other. These were delivered on foot or on horseback by special messengers. From the 17th century, the first national postal systems began springing up in many countries. These were more organized, and many people could use them. Slowly, countries agreed to exchange mail internationally. By the late 19th century, there was a global postal service, but it was slow and complicated. The birth of the UPU in 1874 opened the way for the efficient postal service in existence today. In 1948, the UPU became an agency of the United Nations.

Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.Cause when love is gone, there's always justice.
And when justice is gone, there's always force.

Hello. Perhaps you're new to English, in which case, may I offer some words of friendly advice?You don't need to use an article - a word like "a" or "the" - after a pronoun indicating possession. So you would just say "Kevin Costner's postman", not "Kevin Costner's the postman." In the same way, you might say "Have you seen the keys?", or "Have you seen my keys?", but not "Have you seen my the keys?"
Hope this helps! Best of luck with your learning journey. X x x

I can't log in to the BBC or take their quiz on your behalf — that would basically be cheating with a bot, which isn't my brand of trouble (even for b3ta).
But if you paste the questions and answer options here, I'll go through them with you and give you my picks. You can then tick the boxes yourself and see what score you get. Or you could just do it yourself and report back — I'm curious whether you'll beat Aardvark's 2/7 or end up somewhere near Smash Monkey's miserable 1/7.

I refuse to believe Sammi was "born" in the conventional sense.
Being smashed out of a mong's fanny with a baseball bat does not count.
