Equally cashman, just because shakermaker’s Postie was not on the ball it doesn’t mean everyone’s is not on the ball.

My lifetime experience of receiving mail through my door suggests that the majority of postmen and postwomen do a sterling job in all weathers. There will always be some rogues and lazy people and you get that in any group but in the main our postal service is very good.

All you people moaning about mail deliveries would have something to moan about if you had to collect your own from the Post Office.

It wouldn’t surprise me to discover that some ‘suit’ in Royal Mail hasn’t already considered ‘collect your own’ as a means of increasing their profits and a bonus for the ‘suit’. The only thing preventing such a move is finding a suitable ‘downtown’ premises where the PO Boxes could be placed and figuring out how to sack thousands of postmen and women without starting a civil war.
