It means you leave the letters.
It also means its pointless one half of a van share working on a Saturday if only parcels are being done
So will it be that more posties will have a Saturday off, but will be working Mon - Fri, so there shouldn't be any walks failing
during the week???? If that's the case then there'll have to be more staggered starts and possibly later working as well (to maintain
the social distancing requirements)???

RM will use this pandemic to gain sympathy from the USO to cut down on delivery days for letters which is what they want.
End game Mon, Wed, Fri for letter delivery's.

The detail of the RM requirement still requires Signed For letters to be delivered on a Saturday, so if that's going to happen
then the mail has got to be sent to the DO AND sorted surely....??

It makes sense to sort letters and put in frames on a saturday surely. Are we going to see a shorter working saturday and a longer working monday? We are going to have double mail.
