The price of first class stamps went up by 14% last October (from £1.10 to £1.25), another 8% in April (to £1.35) and will rise another 22% on October 7th (to £1.65). That's a 50% increase in a year!  And they claim it's all because they have to deliver on a Saturday ..... Another privatisation success story.  |

But think of all those pensions they need to pay for their workers, they deserve it Ooohh...that's a low shot, thought that we tried to keep politics off this board. Besides which, the employees have contributed to their pensions why should they be thought of as lesser individuals just because they work for the Royal Mail |

Pilch would know, and my attempt at Pilch baiting has clearly failed as he has not replied *** sigh*** |

Don't like links to accept-our-cookies-or-pay-not-to websites anyway. I hope the Express made more of it being a 55p hike, not just 30p. |
