What to post, depending on what you do
Most advice on this subject is written for everyone, which means it is written for nobody, and most of what ranks in the UK was written in America. These are UK guides for specific trades, with the regulators, seasons and dates that actually apply, plus a photography lesson in each one, because the photograph is usually the thing holding the post back.
