A lot of valid points blame hopeless management not poor old postie that's working so hard to give you the best service he can,thanks to cost cutting.just think how bad the service will be once a private company is in charge.so people write to your local MP's and try and stop this..little less angry postie.

That's what I was getting at. If we all buy the 90% that is being made available to the public and prevent big firms taking over we could maybe make a difference. I am convinced it can't be stopped, just like the gas sale.
To my mind mail delivery along with other institutions (like rail, electricity......) should remain 'nationalised' for want of a better expression. Just as it is turning the corner financially (can't say I like the pricing structure but that's another issue) they flog it - it should be a crime.
So, buy the shares and have a say. They are one of the few carriers that will take things I am interested in and if some of the others courier companies get hold of it that could end.

Very well put I totally agree with that.

I do think the postie is def getting a rough ride and do have a lot of sympathy for their tough situation.

BUT, I do get psd off when they drop a card for an item they couldn't deliver and they didn't even have the item with them. I actually caught up with postie over this and all I got was a dismissive shrug and "blame the management". FFS!

It has happened to me a few times. I do believe some cards are pre-written so all they have to do is drop them in the door and let us collect.

I find that hard to believe,I'm going to look into this.
