You don't have a right to go and see a best mate a family member maybe, and I would be amazed if any DOM (especially these days when they are all bred from a test tube in being w*****s)would give you time off...but you never know if you don't try etc etc.
You could always go sick not that i would. ;liar
Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!

Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.

How about telling your manager the situation first, you never know :whistle
If he says no, ask to see the holiday rota for that week and you might be able to swop your leave with a colleague :hmmmm

You should not come into work with the flu. It's not fair, and you could give it someone else! :no no
