Well, it didn't seem that long ago that the letters would arrive around 7:30 in the morning with some follow up stuff in the second post around midday (turns out when they shut down second post service, it never was an official second post schedule service but more of a sweep up service of stuff that should have gone out earlier on the first one).
So, for me, shortly after some changes, Post was arriving around 9:00am, then around 10:00, to become 11:00 and today nearer the 12:00 mark, then I get gap days, ok so I might not be very popular, but I can get up 2 days or more with no post, then if I actually check any dated letters or the post mark, find its at least 2 days old, hmmm.
Ive also noticed all the local letterbox's have changed to a next collection time 9:00am next day, so if you wanted your precious letter in the system on the same day then get your arse down the Post Office to post it. :(
So, hows it work for you? :-\

we get about 2 ish but we don't have gap days more like weeks ???

2 in the afternoon, well suppose it is Kent, Postmen are probably doing thier proper job in the mornings, picking apples, or what ever it is you do in Kent. ;D, Gap weeks, thats probably the Cider season. ;)
-
Anywheres between 10 and 2, unless it's raining, in which case we don't get any... That said, we know when our (ir)regular postie is away as it nearer ten when it arrives. Rain or shine ;D
-
Anytime between noon & 2pm here.
-
Havent a clue!! All i know is that when i come home its on the door mat waiting for me
But i do regularly talk to the postman who delivers at work and some of the conditions he has to adhere to are ridiculous like his not allowed to leave the depot until 8am but is expected to get his round done by 1pm with over 250 properties to do. Now imagine if he had to knock for a signatue at each address and still be finished by 1pm
-
Any time between 9.30am and 3pm here.having said that I've seen posties still doing their rounds in other areas of town at gone 5pm!So I imagine it can depend to some extent on holidays/sick days and such.
-
Years ago it would be around 8:30am - 9:30am But... Now days anywhere from 10:00am - 11:30am
-
No idea. I'm either at work, or in bed when I've finished a night shift.
-
about mid day now . . . but never get any post on a Monday . . . all the posties must be having long weekends
Absolute sh*te service from RM nowadays. . . >:( >:(
-
Seems to be alternate days, about 10am onwards if they do decide to post, begining to think it may be delivery day if there is a sack fur of post for the area (Rural village - not that that should make a difference) Just out of shear interest I looked up the popuation for our village and it seems we have a bout 1150/1200 people so not sure how amny households that equates to.
-
For the price you pay.
you try and deliver a package/letter to an address in middle o nowhere, at a time to suit everybody :-X.
And don't start on about parcel companies', there are areas they won't do, were as royal mail have too,.
-
For some reason ours has improved from 2.00pm to 11'ish. ??? But we also get gap days. >:(
-
Afternoon unless Liverpool are playing early then it's 9am. I don't seem to get much post anymore, can go weeks between letters
-
Luxury, delivery to door ;D. We collect ours anytime from our own post box in the village centre. Five years ago it used to be a table top for everyone in the village bar. Larger items you have to collect from five miles away between 10 a.m. and 10.30 only.
The Canadians have a similar system which is being improved to universal delivery i.e. every house. Same price too regardless of where you live in Canada. Only 11million poperties to find!
-
Normally between about 10 and 1pm, but earlier on Sat. Get post pretty much 6 days a week, the majority suitable for Fellowes finest to sort out.
Last post at local postbox is IIRC 4:15pm, M-F, and 8:15am on Sat.

-
About 2pm

Usually about 2ish, rarely before that and I can go days without any mail at all.
-
They post junk mail >:( thru with the letters about mid morning.
-
All depends on whether the dog is in the front garden or not ::)
Our postie is scared shitless of him and shows it so the dog won't let him down the path ::)
Told him before to give him a fuss and he will have a friend for life but the wimp hasn't got the balls ;D
If the dogs not there, anytime between 10am and 3pm

If I was the postman and there was a dog running free, I would deliver your post over the fence/hedge OR throw a note over saying it is available for collection at main post office. I had a job as a student delivering leaflets and later on rent books. A job you could only get desperate students to do.
-
I wonder, on the occasions when no mail is delivered, whether it could possibly be because no one has sent any. ;D
-

Frustrating as it is, all that free recycling actually subsidises the cost of delivering your letters for peanuts ::)
Can't see our regular postman carrying an extra 500 items unless he was forced to ;D
-

So true, but then with the small ammounts of mail that some people do get do they just stack it up untill they can be bothered to post it.
-
Latest proplem I seem to have is getting my neighbers post simply becase the new postie we have is toooooo lazy. :-\

When I lived in Liverpool, my mate got a letter from Royal Mail saying ' Put the dog in the house or collect your mail from the sorting office'. No argument, that's it.

If that had really happened in Liverpool, you would have got home to find that your vicious guard dog had been stolen. By the 11 year old paperboy.

Giro?There's a blast from the past. ;D
The last time I was on the dole, I remember my giro being £9 for the week. I got by on it too.

That was before the sub postoffice owners realised that putting a lotto machine and sell fags in meant they go it all back before the person on the rock'n'roll left the building.

My wage with post office telephones (GPO) was 7 guineas a week as a TTA. That £7 7s 0d for the youngsters. After tax I used to pick up (by giro, through the post) £6 18s 6d, I gave my mum £3 and the remainder was mine.....all mine.

Do they ride bikes anymore ??? As a kid I always wanted one those red bikes.

Back in the seventies, my boss was an ex postman. used to work out of Burton on Trent. He had some fantastic tales of him delivering by red GPO motorbike. Two were:
A dressed fresh chicken(not in a bag in those days) with address label tied around its legs, fell off rear pannier going over the Burton bridge. He stopped and went back for it only to see it flattened by a passing wagon. Undettered her posted it through the letterbox.
Another was a late addition to his load. A carton of fresh cream. The guy lobbed it out of the sorting office window and he fumbled it. Lid came off and he scooped up the contents and some leaves and put the lid back on.
On the first occasion the head postmaster was waiting for him on his return.

We went through a phase of all the mail being delivered to the wrong house numbers in our road, we would spend ages knocking on each others doors correcting the mistakes, in the end one of the Neighbors said enough is enough, Im going to complain about the Postman and duly did.
About a week later I got a knock on the door in the early morning, and theres the Postman, expecting him to ask me to sign for something, He didn't, he just said "You complained about me, Im on a frecking warning now, its all rubbish, I always deliver the right mail correctly, why did you report me and do that?", I replied "actually it wasn't me, it was the Lady in 24 three houses down". :D ;D

Very gallant of you. Was he a big postman? ;D
-

Generally between 1 and half past here.
