cost of me sending a card to the Highlands is 39p

checked with tnt - cheapest was £18


god help us if we lose the Royal Mail - it's a public service that should be heavily subsidised.

i think Royal mail are doing the right thing by getting all these temp staff in, let the others have their strike, but let the post office continue as normal as possible.

When was the last time someone who works at Tesco went on strike? Or Sky for that matter.

If i was in charge there, i would sack everyone who did not turn up for work today. There are almost 2 million people out of work at the moment, sure most of them would like the job!

The government don't seem to want to do it any favours either. They just seem to be content in wanting to sell the profitable bits off to whoever. It should be those profitable bits that allow your post card to get to the extremes of the country for 39 pence.

You're still young & have a lot to learn though.

..... There are almost 2 million people out of work at the moment, sure most of them would like the job!

And there's a lot of that 2 million who have no intention of working even if given a job ...... but that's another arguement.

Am I right in thinking some countries make people on benifit do some sort of community work for their money? It sounds like a good idea to me.
I dont see how the strikes are going to get the postal workers anywhere.

Maybe, but Royal Mail had 30,000 temp positions to fill. (double what they normally take on)

85,000 applied.

you want mail delivered by someone with no money being forced to do it against their will? that'd be secure

True... but it still shows the amount of people wanting the jobs, 85k to 30k jobs? People want them, so sack the strikers and get them in, problem solved.

Royal mail needs to stream line awayway, if they continue Royal Mail will go the same way as Rover.

Just imagine the country if Tunnie was prime Minister.
