Mailbags

They say the content of mailbags has altered dramatically since the pandemic.

Ridgewell was moved into a department investigating mailbag theft, where he joined others with whom he split the profits of stolen mailbags.

He further said that the mailbags for International Mail Office (IMO) at Lahore are exchanged via Wagah after clearance from Delhi Foreign Post Office (FPO).

So far, the OED has heard from the UK postal service (where workers apparently call the trolleys that hold their mailbags “yorks”), the restaurant and hospitality sector, academia, and the legal marijuana trade.

The decision by the British Post Office to use synthetic fibres for its mailbags was a further blow, contributing to the closure of the island's flax mills in 1965.
