Listener Feedback: RafelA very interesting episode, but here in Spain we have lost the custom of sending letters or cards. I dont remenber if I've ever sent or received one. I only find letters from the bank in the letter box with a receipt (bank statement) inside. But nowadays with the internet people congratulate one another much more with applications such as WHAT'S APP.
