This is a picture my local post box, taken on last Saturday at 14:00.

The way I read this, there is a collection on Sunday 12:00 (the yellow box), and also it says at the bottom that on Bank Holidays there is a collection at 12:00.

However, if you look at the top next to where it says NEXT COLLECTION, is says MON (keep in mind that the picture was taken on the Saturday).

So my first question is: would the post from this box have been collected Sunday or not...?

My second question: if it was indeed collected on the Sunday, would it be normally delivered the following day i.e. on Monday, or would it be delivered on Tuesday?

Many thanks...

That's because you are not a postman...

Off topic but on topic...next time you are doing a crossword, look thoughtful and mumble 'hmmmmmm...postmans sack'.

Someone is bound to say 'How many letters?'

Then you can say.....'rather thousands!'

Because its an old box and they never used to collect on Sundays i would guess there isnt a little metal plate with SUN on it so they just stick in the one that says Monday.

I havent been a postman long enough to know the answer (only 7 months), the longer i'm there the more i'll learn about collections and stuff i suppose, because collections are nothing to do with the postmen them selves, just the van drivers

you'd think that the collection information would be made easier to understand, IE the sunday time in the yellow box, i havent a clue what it's meant to mean, why cant it be in white like the saturday time?

as far as i'm aware, mail collected on a sunday and possibly even a saturday cant be guaranteed to be delivered monday as saturday and sunday aren't classed as "working days"

...so basically there is no point in me posting anything on Sunday, even if it does get collected on the day it will still be delivered at the same time as a letter posted on Monday, i.e. on Tuesday...?

i believe so, but just not 100% certain

Except if you post it in the box outside the sorting office. I did that on a Sunday, got there Monday

what can i do about my postman, he seems to be putting sensitive mai through next door but still posting shite through mine. SWMBO's credit card came other day. well when neighbour brought it round for her. but we still got junk that was adressed for us. can i do anything or do i just have to put up with it?
