If a postman just does the letters and packets everyone would get their post early (many complaints re late deliveries...) that is because with direct mail they have to deliver to EVERY house/flat/door...on any given day less than a third of all homes would get 'normal post'(OK, I made that 'third' up but I bet it's not far off)<BR/><BR/>Like you Gildy I had little problems with the mail in the UK; in fact thats' why I always dive in to protect it when the 'slaggers' begin. Also, recently I have had numerous letters from the UK - inc. birthday cards :-) that took less than 48 hours....e.e posted 22nd in the evening, arrived first delivery 24th here.<BR/><BR/>For those that haven't already please visit Baldinios Blog to read his 'English/British' post...<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://traderbaldyk.blogspot.com/2006/08/why-long-faces-there-is-lot-of-soul.html" REL="nofollow">HERE</A>Span Owshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10144861546996033462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16962681.post-1157025816303893262006-08-31T13:03:00.000+01:002006-08-31T13:03:00.000+01:00It was suggested that the junk mail if stopped and...It was suggested that the junk mail if stopped and everyone decided to opt out of it being deleivered might make postage of "Normal mail" more expensive...possibly...on the other hand...less mail might make what is real mail arrive on time, and perhaps if Royal mail could manage to keep prices lower and ontime, the public would be less likely to use alternative carriers.<BR/><BR/>I have rarely ever had problems with the mail(except for junk arriving)so perhaps I am one of the lucky one's.<BR/><BR/>Anything of this nature goes straight into the recycle crate.<BR/><BR/>I signed up to the telephone preference service perhaps I'll sign up for the junk mail to be stopped/reduced.The Great Gildersleevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14645982900310730576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16962681.post-1156970689233733652006-08-30T21:44:00.000+01:002006-08-30T21:44:00.000+01:00Isn't this a classic example of turkeys voting for...Isn't this a classic example of turkeys voting for Christmas?<BR/><BR/>Royal Mail gets about 70% of its income from Six and his friends - so presumably old Postie will go the same way his colleague did the last time they had the idea of one delivery a day instead of two.<BR/><BR/>What do you say to a nineties postman?<BR/><BR/>"Pint of best please mate."Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15984687997030721919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16962681.post-1156958359470468502006-08-30T18:19:00.000+01:002006-08-30T18:19:00.000+01:00Six, Gavin outed you on the UK News board.
