Seems convenient enough
for picking something up before work.

Not if it's in completely the opposite direction to work.
And goddammit.. 6:30-9:30 on Saturdays? what is the bloody point?

Good god, this whole thread makes me feel awfully smug.
Our local depot is right in the middle of town, has its own parking and opens 8am till 7pm on weekdays, and until 12:30 on Saturdays.

In Nottingham
the depot was about 6 miles out of town, at the back of a large industrial estate, it opened from 03:00 - 04:00, except when it didn't, and was guarded by automatic, motion-detecting machine gun nests and barbed wire.

And letters are delivered clenched between the pert buttocks
of dusky maidens, right?

Pah! I've lost count of the number of times
I've had to complain about the skiddy letters. Serves me right for living in Reading, I suppose...

That would explain the pubes I found in the letterbox,

Royal Mail & Parcelforce normally have different depots
because they are, to all intents and purposes, different companies.

Royal Mail depots normally keep postal worker-style hours and Parcelforce are usually open til later at night.
