That's what I want to see, a leaflet explaining exactly why people's postmen are going to be delivering their mail later, a lot later.
I note that one or two people have more or less said, that last letter times in towns and rural will remain 2.00 and 3.00pm, respectively.
If that's the case, how? I mean, I'm given to understand that the machinery that Royal Mail have wasted millions of pounds on, could mean offices not getting their work to prep until something stupid like, 11.00am. That to me, suggests later start times for many of us, meaning later finishes to match. :crazy:
