Post early for Christmas, the Royal Mail used to say.
Perhaps they also should have said: If you leave it a bit late, don’t expect any help from us.
This was the main post box by the post office in Dorchester (there is no longer one actually at the post office) at 3pm on the last Saturday before Christmas.
I wasn't trying to post any mail myself, but I think I would have been a little irritated if I had. At the busiest time of the year for post, can Royal Mail really not be bothered to keep the main box in the county town open?
Yes, there was lots of snow on Sat. But it hadn't closed the road between the post box and the sorting office (around quarter of a mile away).
