I remember hearing sometime ago that a survey found that a lot of Royal Mail post boxes were actually emptied (lastly) a considerable amount of time before the stated last collection time. So your rush to post something in time could actually be a waste. But hey, we can only tag with when they say they will make the last collection.
<br><br>I know they've been phasing out for some time the little physical day tags(said 'Mon' 'Tues' or whatever) on the postbox they slide in when doing the last collection so you could tell if you had missed it.
<br><br><br>I think the last_collection tag is a good idea, in the UK they generally say "Last Collection Mon-Fri 6pm" and bellow "A later collection is at 7pm (hour or 2 later) from blah blah".<br>Checking on the map to see your nearest postbox is one thing, but then checking to see if you'll miss the collection and where you have to go instead is even better.
<br>Hey, if this get's used someone could even do a heatmap of postbox coverage and collection time?<br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Gregory<br><a href="mailto:nomoregrapes@gmail.com">nomoregrapes@gmail.com</a>
