[Talk-GB] Post Box Last Collection Times

[Timothy Baker]

Hi Everyone,

It has come to my attention that Royal Mail have changed the "Last 
Collection Time" on most mailboxes in the UK. The boxes are being 
emptied by postmen/women on their usual rounds, rather than by the Man 
in a Van old method.

In my area most postboxes have changed to 9am MF, 7am Sat. I think this 
is just them covering themselves because the postman never comes that 
early around here, it's more like Noon. So they are just saying "we'll 
empty it when we feel like it, sometime after 9am".

It seems to be recent in my area, The IOW was done in March 2020 
(https://www.countypress.co.uk/news/18279532.postal-deadline-now-9am-isle-wight-letters-reveals-royal-mail/)

What are people's opinions regarding a mass change of data?

Should existing collection times be removed so they can be added again 
by people doing surveys with apps?

Sorry if this has been covered before, I'm new to this mailing list and 
couldn't find anything in the archive.

Thanks, Tim
