I cannot find the answer to this simple question on the Post Office or Royal Mail websites.


There is a lot of stuff about marketing, mobile tops ups, rod fishing licences and international driving permits, but so far as I can see, nothing at all about if and when there is a post office open between Good Friday and next Tues.


Help.

Dahhhhhling they do not want you to GO to a post office.

The website is to keep you at the website.

You can order stamps on line, buy a machine that lets you pay for postage on line, buy stamped envelopes on line.

ANYTHING but actually go to a post office.

They are trying to close them down so it is not in their interest to have us GO there.


Saturday they're open but I think they close 12.30 though the postman makes the collection at 12 so if you go in to get something weighed and posted at 12.15 hoping for a Monday delivery, tough.

Ah-ha. With your help I may defeat this cunning ploy.

Sure they do not really want us to post anything at all, even if we can find post office. Postie here has given up all pretence now and just leaves parcels of any value on doorsteps, sort of pot luck for passing thieves.

    • They'd been there for days but I hadn't tied them to this thread. Nice work, it was bugging me!
    • Off topic, but when I was a kid in Streatham, long ago, apart from the milkman (rarely if ever milkwoman),  who also delivered yoghurt - very exotic - in little glass jars, we also had regular deliveries of coal, bread and cheesecakes (not the kind we know now, they had coconut on top), fruit and veg,  and paraffin (both pink and blue). I'm not entirely sure we have lost "something amazing" by buying milk in shops. The glass bottles were left on the doorstep and the metallic tops were pecked through by birds getting at the cream/milk. Or else the bottles were nicked.  And then there was the rag and bone man.... bell and horse and cart, just like Steptoe. God I'm old. We didn't have supermarket deliveries. We didn't have supermarkets. I remember the first supermarket opening in Streatham. It  was quite amazing having to walk round and  put your own shopping in a basket. As you were ..... Sorry OP and admin.
    • Yep, I hear you. Been waiting for modern milkman to these parts and plan to try them out. I still remember Dennis, our Egg-man, from my childhood, who used to deliver dozens in his Citroen 2C and came to collect the boxes the following week. Happy Days. 
    • I always feel we lost something amazing when we moved away from home milk delivery with glass bottles using electric floats to driving to supermarkets and buying milk in plastic bottles. Hindsight says we should have valued the good old milky more
