Oh how I hate having to collect mail. Its sad, here I am in Sheffield one of the biggest cities and our delivery office is only open in the morning and you have to allow 48 hours after attempted delivery before you can arrange redelivery or collect it. Yet they wonder why Royal Mail are losing business.
I used to live in Birmingham (not in the city centre) and my local depot was 7am til 10am in the morning Mon - Sat (I think the Sat was included might be wrong about that!!)

[rant]I'd hope that the strikes will be well out of the way by 16th Nov. Lazy gits they should be grateful for a job at all in these times, I was without any work for 6 months, trying to find a job, it was soul destroying, I would have loved to work for the Royal Mail during those darker times!
