The Fiver - Timing of The Fiver

Timing of The Fiver

Although the Fiver is meant to arrive at email inboxes at 1700 (UK time) it only appears to do so when the writers have managed to acquire tickets to an exclusive pop concert or have another pressing event. The poor timing of arrival (usually around 1750 - 1815) is always blamed on the Guardian's IT support technicians, all of whom supposedly wear Lord of the Rings T-shirts and eat nothing but cheesy Wotsits. However, checking the time sent, as opposed to the time received, does tend to suggest that the Fiver's timeliness is not as bad as it is often made out to be.
