Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Southbourne: old and new postbox collection plates The collection plate on the right is the old-style one. The yellow patch is visible from a fair distance and denoted a Sunday collection (this box being outside a post office).
However, from 26 October 2007, Sunday collections were discontinued. A Postwatch survey suggested that only about 4% of the population valued this relatively expensive-to-run service. (The sticker bottom-left of this plate would have been affixed during the run-up to that date, stating that Sunday collections would not occur thereafter.) These collection plates were then gradually replaced by those on the left, in Royal Mail's new typeface and giving equal prominence in print size to both weekday and Saturday collections. Quite how one of these was overlooked is quite difficult to fathom; perhaps just one new plate per box was produced and they forgot to remove the other. |
