I guess because it isn't Royal any more since this bloody Govt flogged it off! 😕

It’s a private company. Didn’t you know?

At the very least they should be allowed to deliver the post on horseback wearing full historically accurate ceremonial postal uniform and a feathery hat.

Green flag renewal dept has the day off!

No, I did not and now I feel silly. Why is his face going to be on the stamp then.

Because people still need post, s Enders have paid for the service, and they will get a free day off in Monday anyway.

I had a nice chat with our postie this morning. He was really nice and I felt a bit guilty.

They've been given an extra break today to watch the coronation. Not sure how easy that'll be when out delivering...

Frances24 · 06/05/2023 13:20

Because they are legally obligated to deliver 6 days a week - Monday to Saturday, except when there is a bank holiday.

Royal Mail have asked the government to reduce it to 5 days and the government have rejected the request.

dizzygirl1 · 06/05/2023 13:20

Given this is the first day royal mail have been in my street, I'm thankful for the weeks worth of post I've received.

footpedal · 06/05/2023 16:47

I don't know why they didn't do the coronation on the Friday and make that the BH day off.
