Phoenix Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I just happened to notice this morning that the last collection for mail in the box near me is 9.00 A.M. This means that it is virtually impossible to post a letter today, to arrive tomorrow, unless you do your days business at 4 a.m. or summat. Added to that, the postal delivery arrives late afternoon to early evening, often as late as 7.30 p.m. I think 8.45 p.m. is the record, and that on a Saturday. I don't live in a remote country retreat, it's a sizeable town on a main 'A' road, and has it's own sorting office. Don't you just love 'em. And before I get the usual political point-scoring, this is no different at all to the service pre-privatisation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 Right, so when I get my post (at 6 p.m.) tonight, with a request for something that needs to with them tomorrow, I need to anticipate the receipt of the letter, and post my letter last night, in order for it to get there tomorrow. Why didn't I think of that before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
