As the title suggests the Post Office is now open a Sunday.

Is this a new thing or has it been open on a Sunday for a while now?

    I think you need to change the title of this to some post offices are open on sunday.

    As not all post offices are open on a sunday just a select few, in answer to your question yes its been like this for a few months.
    Time is a path from the past to the future and back again. The present is the crossroads of both. :cool:

    I got an email this morning to tell me my 'local' post office was now open on Sundays (but not the one nearest to me), so I assume it's new.

    And I don't see any Proper main PO open on Sundays just ones at the backs of your nearest convenience store.

    Post Office is open in our local Waitrose, same hours that the store opens, and is usually pretty busy on a Sunday.

    My only local one opening on a Sunday (according to the email this morning) is the main one in WH Smith that counts as a crown PO. The small local ones are not,opening...yet.

    Mines been open years.

    Sometimes get the odd snotty feedback saying "pretended to post on a sunday - which is not possible"

    P.S Message to Ebay - please do not count Sunday as a working day. And tell postmen if they knock on my door on a sunday - i will set the cat on them !!!!
