How much to post a letter ???
Sex God
The beginning of the end was when the government separated the Royal Mail from the Post Office ...successive governments have since then pushed further down the road to privatisation of the mail and closure of post were once a profitable business and (in the case of post offices)a crucial local service,but since a profitable publicly owned industry cannot be allowed to exist under the current political ethos they just have to go

I believe this is just one more step on the road to privatisation, giving them a chance to look profitable to any buyer.
Businesses can opt out and contract another company to handle their mail at reduced prices, but as a domestic user how could we do that? We have to put a stamp on a letter, and we have to post it in a RM letter box.

perhaps the best option is to all post second class instead of first .. its a second class service so appropriate, only 1 delivery a day so is there a difference in the service of first and second these days?

yes very true sarah.
60 p to post a letter when i can send an e mail for free? I can use or any other social networking tool to communicate.
obviously if i wanted to send a parcel i would never ever send it by royal mail, as the last one they lost. i use another courier company who charge about the same but give me a better service as they are smaller. when companies become huge they treet there customers with utter is about time the royal mail had some real competition in its mail through your letter box service.
when companies have monopolies this is what happens. look at the huge changes in the telecommunications since bt had its monopoly scrapped. better for the consumer and that must be the target, not some company who will not even guarentee a first class stamp getting to its destination within THREE days. wtf? what happened to afternoon deliveries? a fast and efficient service? customer service in itself?
try speaking with a real person when trying to call royal mail, it is impossible and i hope that this is indeed the end of the road for the royal mail.:thumbup:
open the royal mail and the post office services to other companies, i am sure the consumer will find it cheeper and a better, quicker service as well.
maybe a new company can use blue post boxes to put mail into, and i bet a new company charging 60p a letter ( that is a small letter btw ) what is the increase for a large letter i wonder? would guarantee a letter getting there quicker than the royal mail seems to achieve.

Oh dear .... no privatised industry offers better service or better value for money than it's nationalised predecessor... I mean you don't even have to look very hard to see that :doh:

I would suggest that BT did and does a far better job than Post Office Telephones did or would.

I must in that case assume you are not and have never been a customer of BT
