Well, the car shouldn't be parked on the pavement anyway; the Royal Mail shouldn't have to accommodate stupidity like that.

Nothing to stop them parking on the pavement though, that car is parked perfectly legally

Highway code dictates otherwise - this fails 2 of the three parking criteria - safe, considerate and legal. It's neither safe nor considerate. It's blocking most of the pavement, so the disable and pushchairs likely can't get passed without venturing onto the highway. It's inconsiderate for that as well as the reason in OP's image.

Should be a fine.

I’ve reported a car to the police for parking on the pavement (at an angle so it’s arse was sticking out dangerously). Police said it was fine.
