I vaguely remember hearing years ago that there's a special post office in London that if you go by a certain time you will be effectively catching last post as if you had posted it locally at your postbox in your own postcode.


I want to post something last thing which will get at destination in UK tomorrow morning - any ideas ?

I won't have the doc in my possession until mid-evening.


Thanks,

KK.

There used to be 2 x 19:30pm collections - one at the Paddington and one at the Mount Pleasant sorting offices.


The Paddington office isn't a sorting office any more and I have a sneaking suspicion that the Mount Pleasant collection is now 7pm, but may be worth checking both of these.


I've never heard of a later collection in London than 19:30pm...wouldn't it be nice...

I remember when you used to be able to go to the night mail train in Glasgow Central station at 11.30pm and post a letter straight on to the train for delivery next morning in London!! Is this still possible in the London rail terminals or does everything go by air now???

I've posted late stuff at Nine Elms, but it was a while ago so the times may have changed.


KK, you can't guarantee next day delivery unless you send something RMSD (special delivery), can you? Was Mount Pleasant actually able to take your item personally? Interested to know for future reference!

    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
