Are the Brave Posties of S7 still doing their rounds or has it been put off for the next day or so?

I have some important packages to receive, so if they are, would I be able to fetch them from the Sorting Office? (If I can get there!)

Thanks in advance guys.

That was the other option, I don't usually get much post so it may just be that but i'd like to think I have at least one letter, even if it's just a bill!


In fact, scrap that, you can keep your bills..

All deliveries were out today - volumns will be slightly lower than usual due to snow having an impact on the network and access to pilar boxes

Is it true Royal Mail deck out all their posties in snow shoes and weather clothing?

Dont think snow shoes are available but snow chains for shoes / boots are and have been since the 1960's "weather clothing" is not issued as such but the overcoats etc are good quality and fit for purpose. All this clothing is part of the standard issue PPE which is issued in compliance with the Health and safety at work act, however this type of clothing was been issued long before this act came into force
