And presumably these courier services would install pillar boxes
with once or twice daily collections in almost every urban
street the country

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.

YMMV in an urban setting outside the M25.

This urban setting outside the M25 still has evening box
collections with
more than 4 within 5 minutes walk of our house.

presumably that's because you have 4 post offices within 5 minutes walk

not many people are this lucky

Not more than two post offices within that number. The nearest is within
100m of the front door while the 4 don't include the nearest post
office, where any posting has to be handed over the counter as it has no
box close by.

You're lucky to have post boxes still collected in the evening

Round my way the only ones that get that are the ones outside the
post office, all the rest get opened at about 8:30 as postie walks
past on his delivery

A change they made about 2 years ago

I know. Another reason why I like living in a city centre.
