Following various speculations from a curious bunch of Britons about the purpose of the 'P' written on the front of their Royal Mail letters when they receive letters through the door, an authentic postal worker has revealed the real reason why.
The minds of some Brits have led them to question why certain letters delivered by Royal Mail bear the mark 'P'. However, as reported by the Daily Star, this isn't an accident.
The letter 'P,' occasionally spotted inked onto the envelope's front, holds a meaningful purpose. However, its significance has left numerous Reddit users speculating about the reason behind encountering the letter 'P' in their letters.
One person wrote: It's the postie's way of reminding themselves that when they come to post your letter there's also a parcel for you.
A second said: Given how much Postmen are on the move, it's no surprise they write 'P' on letters. Probably a constant reminder of their next pee break, just a few steps away!
A third commented: That's a bit long, when I was a postman I just used to turn the letters of an address with parcels the opposite way around. A bit more efficient I think
Someone else said: Posties aren't really supposed to write in people's mail. I always turn the first letter for the address backward to remind me that I have a parcel to deliver.
Another said: Put it on back and number sometimes, used to even put the color of parcel to get it out of bag quicker
One person continued: The TLDR - They said: “It's the postie's way of reminding themselves that when they come to post your letter there's also a parcel for you. Thus P=Parcel
However, there's no need for concern, as the presence of the letter 'P' because it has nothing to do with criminal markings or even a show of dislike towards you from your local postal worker.
In reality, the letter 'P' serves as a crucial marker that enables postal workers to perform their tasks accurately and effectively, making sure you get all your deliveries on time.
