Another one goes pop...posties

[Timelord]

The postmen are really busy round these parts with business letters & bills etc + all the online shopping letters. A lot of stuff done on line ends up with a paper letter being sent for confirmation. Also the amount of parcels delivered by the postie has dramatically increased with the rise of ebay. This is all just part of the privatisation plan. raise the prices now so the jump later does not look as huge to the public. You can bet that a few years after privatisation, the Postal service will start to drop unprofitable routes - just like post offices & bus routes etc. It is a public service that is a key component of a civilisation and all governments have been trying to sell it off for a short term profit! These poloticians have no vision for the future other than their rapidly bulging bank accounts...
