Royal Mail next working day

[ecsrobin]

So yesterday Royal Mail tried to deliver a parcel however my butler was out running errands on my behalf and obviously I don't open doors when I pay someone to do that. So instead a card was left by the postman.

This states that I can collect my parcel the next working day which in my eyes would be Monday. However they are open today (I would get my butler to call but they are not open yet) so technically for a postman today is a working day.

So question for you all, can I collect this package today or tomorrow?

I've just consulted my copy of "Debretts guide to the receivement of chattels through the medium of Mr Rowland Hills new express materiels system", and chapter 7, page 5 says that it is permitted and acceptable in time of domestic staff flux to despatch the under gardener to collect your parcel...

Thank you kind sir I will dispatch them immediately and post their response. It would appear I was looking in the wrong place as one was browsing debretts people of today for that answer but I found no postmasters or substitutes.

For the poster above the estate post office is open at the following times:

Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri 0700 - 1700
Wed 0700 - 2000
Sat 0730 - 1330
Sun 1100 - 1500

Clearly a better opening hours than you have.

The gardener has returned and had found them very friendly and helpful and collected my parcel with no problems.

Why assume anything?

The car clearly says next working day , then it clearly lists the days and opening times.

Just follow the instructions or get your imaginary man servant to.

Well it stumped me as I believed that a working day was also a business day. Which is why I turned to PH I knew I was going to try and call/collect today but thought why not ask the masses on what they thought a working day/business day is.
