For the first time in a few years my season ticket has arrived early this morning and I haven't needed to chase the club up for a missing ST as we enter the new season. Things are looking up - well done to the club.

Nope, with the new streamlined and modernised Royal Mail that is no longer a public service but a business you can your letters as late as three o'clock in some places.
You can thank New Labour for that.
Mine hasnt come yet

That's a FANTASTIC service. We used to have to wait until the following morning.
This new arrangement harks back to the days of the GPO in its Victorian hey day.

I don't think I'd like the postman to give me an STD - VD.

Did you need to sign for it?
All part of the service.

Just arrived ten minutes ago as well - and yes out in the sticks this is when our post arrives - not bad considering the club decided to send it to the wrong address (well done postie for knwoing where I really live) - at least I have been able to go online and correct them!
And that's the kind of service, you can't put a price on.
Although RM thinks it can.

Yes, they "abolished 2nd post", and now, remarkably, the 1st post arrives when the 2nd post used to. Convenient that...

M'Lord I would say the GPO's heyday would be the after the Second World War and when it lost its Civil Service status in 1969.

You forgot to include the pseudo Tories (New Labour) in that sentence my esteemed colleague!

It's all part of the unfair regulation that has been imposed on Royal Mail by this so called left wing Government we have in power, profits are now being lost to competitors who get given better licences by Postcomm to generate so called competition, all artificial mind you!
This Government and it's lackeys in the senior management of Royal Mail have decided that Royal Mail is now a business and not a public service, yet Royal Mail still has to provide the Universal Service Obligation to the general public and compete on unfair terms with our competitors and deliver the post at a profit.
Watch this space for further cuts in services.
