No Christmas parcels.
Discussion
Long story short,From the union, your average postman works 5 days a week so the 6th day of delivery it gets done by a cover postie. They want to get rid of the 6th day delivery so they can get shot of the cover posts, all 20-30k of them.
On top of that they want to take all the parcels off your normal postie and make him do 2 rounds with just letters. Your parcels will then be sent out letter with another courier between 1pm and 6pm. That postie has an average area of 200 miles to cover in that time .If your not in your parcel will be taken to the nearest office open. For some people that could be easily 20-50 miles away, there wont be any leave at post office/supermarket option.
