Royal Mail are brilliant and are league above the currier muppets and if Royal Mail was doing their job I would buy online far more often
Your luck if you get a daily service, our local sorting office has been short staffed, from precovid times, we are doing well if we get 3 deliveries a week (in fact in December it was down to one delivery a week ) the amount of mis directed post is rediculous, some days I’ve had more post to send back than actually was here.Looks as though the posties are going to come out as well. Good job I say. Should make everyone realise how totally irrelevant a daily postal service is. I would get rid of 50 % of the posties and go for every 2nd or 3rd day delivery. Why do we need a daily service?

80% of the stuff that gets put in my post box is junk, generic marketing pamphlets, Its a weekly occurrence to get a Domino's pizza offer and the nearest one is miles away!!
To be honest I empty the farm office post box maybe twice a week, and thats doing well.
Aye.. they taste better than the PizzaAs a supplier to a processor who makes mozzarella for Dominoes, you wash your mouth out .... fine job those flyers
Yes but it’ll be carbon neutral junk mail.80% of the stuff that gets put in my post box is junk, generic marketing pamphlets, Its a weekly occurrence to get a Domino's pizza offer and the nearest one is miles away!!

Unions just doing labours dirty work and are trying to cause unrest. Sack 50% of railway staff and you wouldnt notice a drop in service.
Apparently down 30%.cant see numbers rising again either.I fancy passenger volumes aren't quite what they were in these post covid times.
Contrast the rail industry against the airline industry. Both received a lot of furlough cash over COVID, the airline industry laid off staff and now don’t have enough (public desperation for holidays), the rail industry retained staff and now have too many (commuters now working from home).
A re-training opportunity - do you fancy your next flight to be captained by an ex train driver?
Royal Mail are fab & also agree they could deliver every other day esp to use rural folks it might save them a lot of £££Royal Mail are brilliant and are league above the currier muppets and if Royal Mail was doing their job I would buy online far more often
Except, of course - it aint the drivers on strike. They are mostly in Aslef.Train drivers are paid similarly to airline pilots and have similar training and restrictions on their work. I've no sympathy for the airlines, they laid staff off in droves, they can frankly get fudged in my opinion. I do like to see fudge-you capitalism getting fudged in reverse by a shortage of workers. A big correction between the rich and the rest of us is long overdue.
Well I am going to go against the tone of many replies so far. We here in South Lincolnshire have excellent post staff. Friendly, helpful and reliable deliveries. Be a sad day when our UK Post Office and Royal Mail goes the inevitable way of the last years but that is inevitable progress. And same folk on here chastising the Royal Mail will be saying the family farm and small dairy herds should be preserved for the fabric of rural society and, well, because they should. hey ho.
