Postal Time.
Created | Updated Apr 3, 2002
The mail all over the UK is governed not by Einstienian time but by a specially created time called Postal Zone Time. No matter when a letter is posted it will (in Postal-Time) arrive the following morning. In real time this could mean the letter arriving before it is posted or, more frequently, five to seven days later. Sunday does not exist in Postal-Time.
There are two deliveries in any one day (according to the appropriate authorities, however in my town in Oxfordshire the first post arrives at 07.30 PT, and the second post at 10.30 PT. These two are, by curious coincidence, both at approximately 12.30 BST (or GMT, depending).
