So, exactly the same as a tax disk, then.

No, there's a 10 day window. Actually less where a post office is
involved since it isn't open 24x7

How is the 15th of the month until the end of the month a ten day
window? How difficult is it for people to get to a PO within a 15 day
period?

Yes, of course it is, as is the 'gas board', the NHS, and any other
government (national or local) department.

Quite. Ultimately these will be replaced.

At last. Ultimately. Yes indeed, but ultimately is not today, and it
is here and now that is under discussion. There are a lot of things
that will not be here ultimately. Take the private car, for example. Do
away with it, and you can close POs at the same time. Listen to the
howling and gnashing of teeth, though, as all the selfish people of the
country try to argue that they need a car, they are a special case, they
cannot survive without a car. Tosh.
