I must say ‘my’ postie is spot on,
IMHO Its just another case of the ‘system’ at fault

and with my recent mulitple purchases of camping gear off ebay he’s prob alot fitter this week :groucho:

They have gone slowly downhill since they were bought by Consignia, another public service fucked up by privatisation. :you_crazy

I wanted to go back and work for them again as it’s the only job i’ve ever enjoyed but changed my mind when they were bought out.

Consignia was merely a rebranding of Royal Mail Group.

The wider problem is actually with the EU, there is some Europe-wide ruling that national state monopolies are no longer permitted so every EU country has had to expose their postal and telecoms services to the market, even when some aspects of these services are a natural monopoly, particularly posts…

I think similar situations are arising all across Europe…
