They are much more sparse than that. On average perhaps one every ten
minutes walk. The one nearest me has only a single collection each day,
at about 8.30am!
Five mins walk, perhaps, in an urban setting. From my front door, I've
got four that I can think of well within 5 mins walk.
Royal Mail changed the collection system very recently for most post
boxes - collections now occur as part of a postman or woman's delivery
round. Still evening collections for those boxes outside or part of Post
Offices themselves.
