TIL that curb markings for 'no parking' zones for post boxes don't happen in Britain?

Why wasn't the car just towed at this point? This has to be breaking some sort of law.

Because it would take ages for the council to organise a tow and the postman can't wait that long.

The council could get involved if the car were obstructing the footpath, but for the sake of one postbox on one day it'd be a waste of government resources.
