bird in hand is better than two in bush, at end of three months you may get kept on, very unlikey to be on 40 hours, so would advise to go to your other interview and then see where you stand, you could take the risk but no guaruntee to an extension to you contract

You have no chance of a full time contract at royal mail. Im know someone whos waiting 8 years.

If your job offer is sorting in a Mail Centre, I'm sorry to tell you that you have virtually zero chance of getting a permanent job.
Mail Centres are being merged and closed and staffing cut. If you are workingin a MC over Xmas, you might be kept on for a week or two into January, depending on the weather and any backlog. If the Xmas post is cleared early, you could get terminated before Xmas.
You would probably stand more chance of being kept on in a Delivery Office - but that would be on a part-time and short term contract.
