There has been a right load of shit about the post office recently
On the way to work today radio 5 were PROPERLY slating them.. saying the havent met any of their target etc in the first 3 months of this financial yr.

They said only 8 in 10 of 1st and 2nd class letters had got dilivered on time..
Now forgive me for this but i think that 8 in 10 is fairly good.. to be honest what do you want for your 26p
you can post a letter in say devon at 5.29 pm and it will get 300miles upto glasgow, and has an 80% chance of being delivered by arround 9 am the following day. not bad odds if you ask me!

Ok they might break/loose a few things but if you want to send something important dont be a nonce and send the fucker special delivery!!

I certainly do think there is room for improvement and imo the management needs to be looked into.. ie is everyone doing there job properly, is mail on time .. basic people management skills.
Oh and stop spending a fortune employing a load of fucking agency workers half of them cant even speak english let alone read it so how do you expect the mail to get to the right place?

I honestly dont see how ANY improvement could be made by privatising the mail system. (look what happened to the trains )

What are other peoples views on this?
