Letter: Post poser

I AM very confused about something.

I live in Meadowbank, and when I miss a Royal Mail delivery and cannot be in during working hours for it to be re-delivered, I have to go to the East Telferton industrial estate, a good half-hour walk away.

My friend lives near that very spot, and when he misses a delivery, he has to go to a depot at the far end of Portobello – a 20-minute walk.

Another friend lives in the West End of Edinburgh. If she misses a delivery she has to go to the Gyle to pick it up.

If she was mad enough to walk, it would take her more than an hour.

Please can somebody explain the logic of this.
